What's On

Festival program celebrates world-class homegrown talent! 18 acts, 8 locations, 2 days.

Jazz By The Beach, Scarborough promises to be a cultural and lively experience running across eight venues over two days (14 & 15 August). An exciting program of some of Perth's favourite performers.

Perth’s newest go-to Jazz Festival ‘Jazz By The Beach’ is here and taking over Scarborough’s favourite venues for a two-day Festival this August. In its debut year the organisers present a sensational line up of world class musicians including acts from Ali Bodycoat, Catherine Summers, Russell Holms, Lucky Oceans, Juliana Areias, Howie Morgan, Steven Hensby, Freddie Grigson, Holly Scott, roving band Junkadelic and more.

Ticketed and free events fill the program with something for every jazz lover. Enjoy ‘Gin and Jazz Legends’ at The Scarborough Beach Bar. Or, indulge in a coffee and brunch as jazz funk trio’s take-overs at Livid Skate or ‘Oceanview Jazz Lunch’ at Zoie. There is also the chance to catch bigger bands like ‘Roaring 20s Beans Burma Boys Jazz High Tea’ at The Rendezvous Jazz High Tea or indulge in an ‘Evening of Elegance with Catherine Summers’ for a 6-piece swinging band concert at The Scarborough Beach Surf Club that’s being transformed into ‘The Diamond Lounge’ for the Festival.

Some of Scarborough’s most iconic, ocean-view venues have partnered with some of Perth most iconic artists for the festival so you can enjoy both a world-class jazz-music experience and a world-class ocean beachfront view. 

As we continue to live in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Jazz By The Beach is planning a Festival which is prepared to accommodate the changing nature of venue restrictions to ensure that the show goes on.
