Sapporo City Jazz

Launched in 2007 under the slogan 'Turn Sapporo into a city of jazz', Sapporo City Jazz spans from mid-July to mid-December across the city. In summer, the free Park Jazz Live brings together more than 200 Japanese and international musicians on around ten open-air stages, including Odori Park, while winter's Theater Jazz Live offers ticketed concerts at the Sapporo Cultural Arts Theater hitaru.
