28th-30th September

2012 is a big year for the Scarborough Jazz Festival as it is our tenth anniversary therefore we have some great names in this year's lineup.

The Festival is now rated as being in the top five Jazz Festival's in country by the Guardian festival guide and is now firmly on the national if not international stage.

Audiences and performers have acknowledged the consistently high quality of the artists and find the variety and range of the programme refreshing. And, of course, the physical setting gives the festival an added appeal.

As before the Scarborough Jazz Festival 2012 will provide high quality entertainment, contrast, variety, accessibility, innovation - and fun!
