Collingwood's First Jazz Festival

Brian (Dinny) and I attended this festival (14th August 2009) Brian was playing with The Figleaf Jazz Band. It was a fun experience and they hope this is going to be a yearly gig. There was a good assortment of music and singers at this festival. The jazz festival was held in the day time from 12.30pm to 6pm and then again from 7pm to 10pm. They did not close the street off it just goes on while people shop. Collingwood has much improved their main street and town. It was a pleasure to go there. They also have that wonderful Blue Mountain Village with many hotels, stores and restauants. There was live music and outside entertainment plus out door movies on Wednesday night. It is really a lot of fun.

So take the time to go there for a day visit or a weekend, and watch for the jazz festival to come next year.
