We're a Community Interest Company and fundraising is our key means to making this festival happen. We're Crowdfunding to ensure we can keep a big chunk (or even all) of the festival free for everyone.

Crowdfunding towards ~

  • A stellar lineup through the day featuring some of the most noted figures in jazz - homegrown and international

  • Simultaneous gigs across multiple venues

  • A youth outreach programme focused on music and community



Details of what your money will support us to do ~

  • Campaign to reach crowdfunding target. Get all our friends and supporters to spread the word!

  • Secure the stellar lineup we have pencilled in

  • Get all licenses, insurances and plans in place with Hackney Council

  • Run our curatorial briefings and release the lineup to the general public

  • Get our technicals in place and ensure the best sound stages cognisant of the neighbourhood

  • Run a strong marketing campaign and ensure maximum festival attendance

  • Build a community through activations leading up to the 12th of July 2025

  • Festival setup

  • Running the festival at multiple locations!

  • De-rig and Clearout

  • Festival roundup, evaluation and impact assessment

  • Festival feedback and planning towards Edition 2


We hope to keep the festival as free as possible through grants, fundraising and sponsorship. Over time, we hope the success of the festival allows us to create more stages for music around the neighbourhood and truly scale it into a family-friendly and always inclusive neighbourhood-wide festival. We look to bring our large and diverse community together through the power of jazz.

Why it's a great idea ~

1. Brings the community together and brings music to their doorsteps (in some cases, hopefully literally)

2. Enhancement of De Beauvoir Town's cultural profile

3. Economic stimulus for local businesses in Hackney and Islington

4. Bringing new people to the neighbourhood to celebrate it and share what it means to live and work here

5. Bring new audiences to jazz

6. Create opportunities for volunteer involvement and over time, employment!

7. Promote arts education and cultural diversity

We are committed to making this event inclusive, safe, and beneficial to the entire community. We have garnered interest from local businesses and they are all incredibly supportive.
