Jazz Connect 2025 is here — and if you’ve been wondering what to do in Scarborough this weekend, wonder no more. From Friday 30 August to Sunday 1 September, Scarborough will transform into a multi-stage, multi-sensory celebration of jazz, community, rhythm, and local creativity.

Whether you’re a long-time jazz lover or someone who just likes good music and great vibes by the beach — this is your weekend.

It’s More Than a Festival — It’s a Takeover

What makes Jazz Connect so special isn’t just the lineup (although yes, it’s incredible). It’s the way Scarborough becomes the festival.

Instead of packing into one big space, you’ll find music flowing across twelve different venues — each one with its own atmosphere, its own crowd, its own feel. From beach bars to laneways, rooftop lounges to skate cafés, the entire coastline is going to pulse with sound.

One minute you’re catching a laid-back sax solo with your morning coffee at Zoie Café, the next you’re grooving under the stars at The Lookout with a cocktail in hand.

And just when you think it’s over? You’ll hear trumpet notes echoing out of a laneway you didn’t even know existed.

Where You’ll Find the Music

Here’s what makes this weekend so deliciously Scarborough: the music meets you where you are.

We’re talking:

• Scarborough Beach Amphitheatre — music at golden hour with the ocean as your backdrop
• Scarborough Sunset Markets — food trucks, community buzz and jazz under festoon lights
• The Lookout, El Grotto, The Sandbar and Scarborough Beach Bar — for your late-night grooves and seaside sips
• Livid Skate Café and Livid Laneway — raw energy, youth vibes and edgy beats
• Zoie Café, Indigo Oscar, and La Cabaña — beachside brunches with background brass
• Scarborough Beach Community Centre — family-friendly workshops and performances
• Rendezvous Hotel Lobby Bar — your classy Sunday wind-down with upright bass and all the feels

Some shows are completely free. Others — like standout sessions at The Lookout and El Grotto — are ticketed and worth every cent. You can check out the full artist and venue schedule at artconnectwa.com.au/events

Who You’ll Hear

Expect everything from smooth and sultry vocals to foot-tapping funk and experimental jazz fusion.

Local legends like Ali Bodycoat and Gemma Farrell will be lighting up the main stages, while rhythm-heavy sets from Daniel Susnjar’s Afro-Peruvian Project and Holli Scott & The Rush Hour Circus promise to shake things up in all the right ways.

But here’s the thing — you don’t need to know the names to enjoy the music. That’s the beauty of Jazz Connect. You discover your new favourite artist by accident. Sitting on a bar stool. Walking past a café. Lying on the grass at the amphitheatre, listening with your eyes closed.

The Rhythm of Scarborough

What makes this weekend so magical isn’t just the music. It’s where you’re hearing it.

The way the breeze carries a trumpet solo across the shoreline.
The way the crowd hushes for a quiet moment at sunset.
The way strangers start moving in sync to the rhythm of something bigger than all of us.

Scarborough comes alive in a way that doesn’t happen every weekend. This is jazz in its purest form — spontaneous, soulful, and woven into the very streets we walk every day.

Stay tuned for more epic events and activities happening right here in Scarborough!

17 events – 9 venues – one epic weekend

Scarborough’s weekend festival of jazz is back for its third year (after 2023’s hiatus) as JazzConnect – produced by the newly formed ArtConnect Initiative – livening up the foreshore from August 23 to 25.

Proudly presented by the City of Stirling, the festival features 17 free and ticketed events at nine beachside locations, all within easy walk. The City’s Mayor Mark Irwin is encouraging residents and visitors to get along for a full day out or stay for the complete weekend experience.

“Heading into spring, this event gives a fantastic excuse to get amongst all Scarborough has to offer, with entertainment to sample in and around some of the best local spots, from morning ‘til night,” said the Mayor.

Festival Director Karen Caddy said the 3-day program – a jazz degustation of sorts – caters to all musical tastes. With events staggered throughout each day, you can move from one to the next, taking in jazz acts ranging from traditional to swing, soul, R&B, folk, funk, blues, latin and more.

“This weekend is about enjoying great local artists and iconic venues, against Scarborough’s spectacular ocean views; from breezy brunch vibes to black-tie evening glamour, there’s something for music lovers of all ages – from the casual to the connoisseur – including events for the whole family,” said Caddy.

Scarboro Surf Life Saving Club’s Sunset Terrace will transform into the festival’s Hub, hosting two hot-ticket marquee events: a brand new night of elegance with jazz legend Libby Hammer on Saturday; and a Sunday afternoon of smooth bossa nova with Festival Curator Georgie Aue premiering her brand new show.

Outside the Hub, find acts across the weekend at Livid Skate Café & Laneway, Scarborough Sunset Markets, Zoie Café, Rendezvous Hotel, The Sandbar, Scarborough Beach Bar, The Lookout and El Grotto.

New and established Perth talent abounds, from the festival’s opening night with GunFu to the closing party with Steve Hensby Band. In between, chill out with the Basilio Brothers crooning the afternoon away; get a free swing dance lesson while the Matt Cahill Combo plays; enjoy a sunset samba with Marcio Mendes or De Cuba Son’s spicy Cuban rhythms, and lots more.

“As the most multicultural area in Western Australia, we’re pleased to have this diversity reflected in the festival’s wonderful program as well,” said Mayor Irwin.

While more than half the festival’s events are free, tickets for some are limited and all are available now.

JazzConnect Festival is proudly presented by the City of Stirling and produced by ArtConnect Initiative.

MOTHER’S DAY: Gift Ideas

We have all been there – it gets to the day before Mother’s Day and you realise that you forgot to buy your Mum a gift yet again. You start grasping at straws to quickly throw something together to impress her. Well, look no further than Scarborough this Mother’s Day! We have a heap of gift ideas that you could grab for your amazing Mum to show her how much you appreciate her.

If your mum is a beachy, surfer-type go-getter, we have a couple of surf shops in Scarborough where you could grab a gift for her.

THE SURF BOARDROOM:

Head here to grab your mum a new outfit from popular surf clothing brands – or even a new surfboard (if that is up her alley).

CORDINGLEYS:

If your mum is up early most mornings catching the first break of waves, head to Cordingleys to grab her a high-quality surfboard to compliment her early morning adventures!

RIPCURL:

Since 1969, Ripcurl has been offering surfing apparel to the public. Grab your mum some Ripcurl merch to make her look and feel like Sally Fitzgibbon when she is down at the beach!

All of these places also offer gift cards, so if your mum has always been indecisive and has no idea what she wants – grab her a gift card and take her down to Scarborough to pick something herself (you could even make an afternoon out of it, bring her down on a Saturday from the 11th May and enjoy the atmosphere of the Scarborough Sunset Markets!)

Getting up early on a Saturday morning for a Pilates class seems to be the trend at the moment! Instead of buying her a physical gift, why not buy yourself and her a few passes for Pilates? Here are a couple of places in Scarborough that offer Pilates:

THE HUNDRED PILATES:

Located on Manning Street in Scarborough – it is the prime location to watch the sunrise whilst doing something good for the soul. This Pilates place offers different packages, ranging from $40 per week to $70 per week – there is something for everyone. On the 12th May this year, they are hosting a “Healing through breathwork” event for Mother’s Day. It is a transformative experience that combines deep breathing techniques. Purchase tickets here: https://events.humanitix.com/journey-through-breath-may-12

OAK PILATES:

Here is another Pilates place where you could take your mum for Mother’s Day. They offer classes from $49 per week to $80 per week. Also, if you are wanting to cleanse your soul of the stresses of everyday life – Oak Pilates offers getaways that will give you a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Currently, they are advertising one for Bali that leaves on the 11th of May. This retreat offers daily Pilates sessions, mindfulness workshops, sauna and ice bath sessions and so much more. How about grabbing your mum a ticket for this retreat? Here is the link for more info: https://oakpilates.com/getaways/

Or – if you would rather spend your day with mum on Mother’s Day, why not head down to Scarborough on Sunday 12th May? There is always something going on down in Scarborough.
