As In 2011, all guest acts in 2012 will be big bands making this Australia's premiere Big Band Jazz festival! The sounds of swing will be echoing across the park and water from early in the afternoon right though to the end of the swing dance at 9pm. As always, the huge Big Band Sunsets dance floor will be there awaiting all eager dancers. You'll see and hear some of our finest young talent and local performers in the 'Schools' segment of the festival. 

     Festival patron Mr. John Morrison

So bring your rug and picnic hamper and come on down to the river for a fabulous afternoon & evening of jazz and dancing.  Choose your spot in the park and settle back for over 22 hours of high quality jazz music... jazz music with an emphasis on MoJO's favourite; big band swing! In the immortal words of Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.... and boy there'll be plenty of swing in Mordialloc come next February! And, thanks to the support of the arts by the City of Kingston , the sponsorship of the Parkdale/Mentone East Community Bank Branch of the Bendigo Bank and the hard work of the members of MoJO, IT'S ALL COMPLETELY FREE!!!
