Warwick’s unique winter event has returned for 2023, and the organisers have outdone themselves yet again.
Taking place over 10 days from 20-30 July, and bookended by two full weekends, Jumpers and Jazz in July is a community-and volunteer-led celebration of all things woolly and wonderful.
“We’re looking forward to giving a warm Warwick welcome to all our visitors,” said Pam Burley, president of the management committee and event coordinator.
“There will be world-class textile art and yarn bombing everywhere, diverse jazz genres perfect for getting up and dancing, and plenty for families to enjoy.”
The theme for the annual tree jumpers – the festival’s distinctive feature recognisable by people across the state – is ‘Pathways’ or ‘I Love to Yarn’, while the Yarntopians have brought their artist installation up yet another level this year, with the ‘Curiouser and Curiouser’ maze.
Visitors can make their way through the entrance of Kings Theatre on King St to journey with Alice down the rabbit hole of incredible yarnbombed creations. The fun then continues inside King’s Theatre with the Jazzy Crafters Pop-up Emporium.
In addition to all this, the JJJ ticketed signature events for 2023 include top class concerts, and free cooking demonstrations by celebrity chef Matt Golinski on Saturday, 23 July.
There will also be guided walking tours available at various locations to showcase the Ateliers precinct. With over 100 event experiences through the Southern Downs Region for the festival, visitors are sure to find something that everyone in the family will love. People coming from out of town can also stay and enjoy the full Warwick experience – visit www.jumpersandjazz.com.au/visitor- information for details for day trippers,
