Inverloch Jazz Festival

Just two hours from Melbourne and nestled on Victoria's spectacular Bass Coast, the Inverloch Jazz Festival returns in 2025 with three unforgettable days of music, culture, and coastal charm.

This beloved winter event transforms the seaside village of Inverloch into a vibrant hub of jazz, showcasing over 40 bands and 150 musicians across multiple indoor venues – all within easy walking distance.

Now in its 31st year, the festival offers a rich program of styles: from big band and bebop to funk, Latin, swing and contemporary jazz. Whether you're a long-time jazz lover or new to the scene, the lineup blends iconic performers with rising stars, promising something for every musical palate.

Make a weekend of it between sets. Explore Inverloch's cosy cafés, modern restaurants, cellar doors, and coastal walks. It's the perfect off-peak getaway, supporting local businesses while soaking up smooth sounds and seaside serenity.
