The annual Jumpers and Jazz in July Festival is one of Warwick’s biggest events and tourist attractions this year, and it has just secured another major boost for this year’s event.
Following the festival’s devastating cancellation amid last year’s coronavirus restrictions, Jumpers and Jazz media co-ordinator Bette Bonney said planning was in full swing for an even bigger comeback.
“It’s really fabulous to be back, because it was the community and businesses that expressed their deep sorrow that it wasn’t happening (last year),” Mrs Bonney said.
“We’re certainly building up for a great festival. All the bands are in place, and the events are growing … and the yarnbombers have been busy for months now and are producing the most amazing artworks this year for the art gallery installation.”
