The 2024 Ribble Valley Jazz & Blues Festival is on the May Day Bank Holiday, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th May.
It showcases the very best of Jazz & Blues in all it's genres and brings together performers from across the world to focus upon Clitheroe.
This year we are proud to announce our full line up of amazing music - take a look at our listings. Each year we have over 500 performers from many genres performing around Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley for four days of spectacular music, and this year is no different. With over 50 FREE live music events around the town there is plenty for everyone.
We bring to our online stage local singers and bands and highlight up-and-coming youth talent and give them the chance to perform to a wider audience. We also have a number of "home grown" bands, Elbow Room, The Ribble Valley Jazz Big Band and the BluFunk Syndicate, formed out of our monthly jazz club.
Clitheroe is a great setting for a visit to browse the local shops and hidden away courtyards, the Saturday market, the great places to eat, the award winning historic pubs, the amazing Holmes Mill, home to Bowland Brewery, and of course the splendid castle and beautiful park and nearby river Ribble.
