The Kota Kinabalu Jazz Festival 2015 (KKJF) is an annual fund-raising jazz extravaganza jointly organized by the Rotary Club of Kota Kinabalu (RCKK) and the Society of Performing Arts Kota Kinabalu, Sabah (SPArKS). Staged in the picturesque Nature Resort City of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, the jazz festival brings together a musical melting pot of talents from around the world. KKJF recorded a crowd of over 4,000 people during the two - night performance.
The festival is on its 9th edition this year every since it was started in 2007. For 2015, the festival will be held on the 24th and 25th of July this year from 7pm to 11pm. In the days leading up to the two-night event, a series of fringe events with Talent Search and the much-anticipated KKJF Jazz Stars have been planned.
The festival is a fund-raising event. Money raised from ticket sales is used to fund deserving community projects run by the Rotary Club of Kota Kinabalu. Past projects funded by the Kota Kinabalu Jazz Festival include the clean water project to the villager, literacy program, Avoidable Blindness Campaign, environment protection program, free medical services to rural communities, initiate the development of cottage industry in the hope that the communities can be independent in their life, building of boarding home for rural children so they do not have to commute the 3 hours walk to school every morning.
The KK Jazz Festival is now a signature event in Sabah's annual calendar of events, and is also a key component of the Kota Kinabalu Arts Festival. Tickets are sold at RM153 for a two-night pass and RM103 for a one-night pass.
