Ealing Jazz Festival is an annual jazz festival in Ealing's Walpole Park which was first held in 1984.[3]
In 2016, concern was raised after Ealing London Borough Council announced it was taken over management of the festival from The Event Umbrella, including cutting it down to two days and reduce financial risk.[4] A group of protesters staged a demonstration outside the council offices to publicise these objections.[5]
