The countdown to the 12th KK Jazz Festival (KKJF2018) has begun!

It kicks off on Feb 3-4, from 3-5pm, at The Walk at Riverson, here, with one of numerous events running up to the Festival on March 9-10 at Sutera Harbour Resort.

The event at The Walk, which has become known as the Jesselton Artisan Market, will include a talent search audition for budding artists. Some of the performers slated to appear at KKJF2018 will also be performing in between the talent search auditions. Winners of the talent search will earn a spot in the KKJF2018 and share the stage with some of the best artists in the industry.

Tickets to KKJF2018 are now available via www.airasiaredtix.com or various outlets around the city on a much later date.

KKJF is jointly organised by Rotary Club of Kota Kinabalu and the Society of Performing Arts Kota Kinabalu Sabah. It is also an annual fund-raising event, where money raised from ticket sales is used to fund deserving community projects of Rotary.
