History of Tauranga Jazz Festival

​For Easter 2019 - Jocelyn Buchanan worked with Tauranga City Council's Heritage Collection, Taonga Tauranga, Downtown Tauranga, Trustpower, Tauranga's Historical Society and Tuskany Agency, to put together a Photographic Exhibition of the History of the Tauranga Jazz Festival.  Taonga Tauranga was fortunate to be given permission to use the wonderful Downtown Tauranga /Trustpower photographic stands along The Strand to show-case this exhibition during the 57th Tauranga Jazz Festival. 
​The Exhibition was sponsored by Taylor Bros Transport
