From August 3 to 10th, Bansko will be a home of jazz music for the 27th time. Bansko Jazz Festival will transform squares, streets, parks and restaurants in the mountain town into a huge live stage.

The rich program includes 135 performers from 18 countries, 24 concerts on the big stage, 21 concerts on the daytime stages, as well as 18 international projects, four joint ones and five Bulgarian projects.

The guests of the Bansko Jazz Festival can also see the country's first permanent jazz exhibition in the jazz museum in the "Nikola Vaptsarov" community center, which traces the history of jazz in Bulgaria.


The Bansko Jazz Academy will also take place with the support of the Ministry of Culture. The accompanying program features family games, a day stage in the park, afternoon jazz improvisations.

The most interesting new initiative at the foot of Pirin Mountain this year is the Jazz Alley. BNR is a media partner of the festival.
