We wish to thank and recommend all our venues, bars and restaurants for their active support of the Queenstown JazzFest. Not only are they among our favourite places to eat, drink and play - they also provide wonderful hospitality to our visiting musicians. So please visit these great establishments whilst you're in town and who knows... you may even be seated next to one of your favourite Queenstown JazzFest 2016 artists!
