The Great Tropical
Jazz Party
is the annual event organised by the Magnetic
Jazz Association Inc, held on Magnetic Island in far north
Queensland each September. The jazz festival is
the signature music and entertainment event on Magnetic Island, attracting
visitors and jazz aficionados from all over the
world.
The Great Tropical Jazz Party is
presented by the Magnetic Jazz Association, a not for profit organisation that is firmly
focused on promoting the premier entertainment event on Magnetic
Island. Now in its 13th year, The Great Tropical
Jazz Party is three nights and two days of cool jazz,
held beneath the palms on balmy Magnetic Island. The 2009 event runs
from 11 to 13 September and is proudly hosted by
the Magnetic Island Lions Club and the E Robert Hayles and Alison
L Hayles Charitable Trust.
Magnetic Island is just 20 minutes
by fast cat from Townsville, halfway between Cairns and
Mackay. The island is mostly National Park and green
space, with just 3000 permanent residents calling the idyllic
island home. It's a vibrant community of locals who
delight in showcasing the natural attractions of the
island to visitors. The Great Tropical Jazz Party forms the
perfect opportunity for visitors to enjoy the ambience of
this laid back island.
Planning for
the 2009 festival is currently underway, with the program soon
to be finalised. Check back here regularly to find out more
