Operational pressures, a lack of transparency around festival management, and the need to reimagine fundraising models have been cited as the primary reasons for the cancellation of the 2019 Wangaratta Festival of Jazz & Blues.
First held in 1990, the festival usually takes place in late October – early November in the regional Victorian city of Wangaratta, 260 kilometres north-east of Melbourne.
