The Rye International Jazz & Blues Festival brings music, energy, and community to our historic town every summer
and we believe live music should be free for all.
From spontaneous street performances to vibrant fringe gigs, these moments rely on extra funding, which every year is more challenging to secure.
Support our crowdfunder to help us:
Keep music alive in the streets of Rye
Support emerging and local talent
Create an inclusive, welcoming festival for all
Every donation helps — whether it’s £5 or £500. The more we raise, the more music we can bring to life.
