It attracts a heterogeneous audience of over 140,000 from around the country, who cram into what is normally a small settler town best known for its academic and legal institutions. Performance venues are thus created in any available venue such as schools, churches, and community halls. The National Youth Jazz Festival takes place on the campus of the Diocesan School for Girls, Grahamstown.
