Eltham Jazz Festival

Vicki WARD (Eltham – Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Natural Disaster Recovery, Minister for Equality) (09:55): What a great weekend of hot music, dancing, food and sun. Congratulations to all involved in creating another successful Eltham jazz, food and wine festival. Music and food fans from near and far came down to Eltham town square to enjoy amazing live music performances, entertainment and a wide range of food and drinks produced by local stallholders, cafes, bars and restaurants across our vibrant town centre. I especially want to recognise the efforts of the volunteer committee: Michael, Fee – and congratulations on your marriage, Fee, during the festival – Michael S, Debora and all of the crew involved in setting up this extraordinary two-day event. The festival is only made possible thanks to their hard work. Some of these volunteers have been working on this event for 20 years of more, and our community is hugely thankful.
