The Rye International Jazz & Blues Festival brings live music to the heart of Rye each summer. Set across atmospheric venues throughout the town, the festival features a mix of ticketed and free events, with performances spanning jazz, blues, soul, and more. From intimate bars to historic churches and lively street stages, music fills every corner. A dedicated fringe programme adds to the experience, with additional shows at local pubs and venues. Free performances are supported by community funding, helping to keep live music accessible to all.
