Ealing Jazz Festival is an annual Summer jazz festival in Ealing's Walpole Park in London, United Kingdom. It was first held in 1984.[3]
In 2016, concern was raised after Ealing Council announced it was to take over management of the festival from "The Event Umbrella". As a result, the festival programme was reduced from five to two days of live music and ticket prices increased sharply. These unpopular measures were intended to reduce financial risk.[4] A group of protesters staged a demonstration outside Ealing Council's offices to publicise their objections.[5]
