The Christchurch Big Band Festival is an annual music festival celebrating and nurturing big band jazz in Ōtautahi, Christchurch. The festival has been running since 2006 and is for local and out of town big bands, including numerous school bands, with workshops, concerts and free events for the public around the city across Labour Weekend (19-24 October 2023). “Labour Weekend is a Blast!"
