Standard Bank Joy of Jazz Festival in Johannesburg

Johannesburg's biggest annual jazz festival is an ideal family outing, featuring a range of musical styles but with a strong emphasis on jazz.


As the premier jazz event for the city of Jo'burg, it has always gone beyond just music and entertainment, and has become an ideal family outing that encompasses music in every form but with a clear and strong emphasis on jazz.

Over 200 local and international artists perform at different venues across the city, particularly in Newtown.

With its history of bringing world class talent and awe-inspiring performances from both local and international stars, there is little wonder the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz Jo'burg International Festival has been touted as the "Mother of all Jazz Festivals"
