Description
21 - 31 July 2016
20 - 30 July 2017 Warwick’s winter festival sees a transformation of the CBD streets into a living gallery, with more than 100 handmade “tree jumpers” that inspire and charm spectators even on the coldest of winter days. Jumpers and Jazz in July began in 2004 and nine years later the quirky “tree jumper” project has expanded into a ten day art and music festival.
Visitors to Warwick are invited to immerse themselves in a program of exhibitions and events that range from a beaut family night around the Fire Drums of Killarney to indulging with a fine local wine to the sounds of elegant jazz at a charming country hotel.
The festival program is an eclectic mix of events that, at their core, reflect our relaxed lifestyle and country hospitality. Be entertained by live Jazz performances by some of South Queensland’s most popular jazz musicians to the backdrop of colourful knitted graffiti or a warm winter fire.

The main attraction of our festival is the yarnbombing! Our Tree Jumpers are spectacular this year and the Warwick Art Gallery Yarntopians have excelled themselves. Hope you enjoy this album of yarny treats and the people who created them.
WEEKEND CAR PARKING = Tomorrow's schedule of events is one of our biggest ever on a single day. The Warwick Chamber of Commerce Inc Jazz Lounge, the Suitcase Rummage market and the Seasonal Feast Southern Downs market will all happen in the area around Warwick Town Hall and Warwick Art Gallery. We recommend that visitors avoid the Town Hall car park and instead follow these directions to an alternative parking area still in the CBD. Coming to Warwick from Brisbane/Toowoomba turn right at the second set of lights, drive straight ahead through the intersection with the yarnbombed statue of Tom Byrnes (give him a wave) and look for the PARKING sign 50m further on your left.
