Bansko Jazz Festival

Bansko Jazz Festival has filled the central square of Bansko, a mountain town in southwestern Bulgaria, every summer since 1988. The festival brings together artists from many countries across several open-air stages, with a programme spanning jazz in its many forms, from swing to fusion. It stands out for its convivial spirit, with informal meet-the-artist sessions and late-night jam sessions that extend the concerts long after the main stage ends.
