JAZZ BY THE RIVER
DICKENSON PARK, VEREENIGING

2010 Spring saw the 15th edition of South Africa’s pioneer of outdoor festivals, the Jazz By The River

The festival forms part of the Vaal River Carnival, a month long series of sport, recreation, arts and entertainment activities to promote leisure and tourism in the Vaal. It is supported by the Sedibeng and Emfuleni Municipalities, local business and the Vaal community to promote the region.

Although the festival is only 15 years young, it has built a string following and fan base.

The festival brings top-class entertainment to the region, and many benefits associated with such events. These benefits include but are not limited to:
- Local arts and culture development;
- Economic development;
- Job creation;
- Tourism development; and
- Civic pride and social cohesion.

Through music workshops for local bands and selling opportunities for local vendors, the local population of Sedibeng and Emfuleni gained real benefits – thereby justifying the investments made.

Jazz By the River can only go from strength to strength; be part of it next and to get updates make sure you visit our site regularly.
