The Wangaratta Jazz and Blues Festival in Victoria, Australia, is set to return in 2024 after facing potential cancellation due to rising costs, declining ticket sales, and regulatory issues. Local businessman Andrew Nunn, with no prior festival experience, has led efforts to revive the 34-year-old event, securing over $100,000 in government grants and $65,000 from 120 donors. Scheduled for November 1-4, it will feature around 30 acts and has sold over half of its 1,600 tickets, with significant interest from out-of-town visitors.
