Bansko International Jazz Festival

01 Aug 2008 - 31 Aug 2008 Date to be confirmed

Under the snow-capped peak of Mount Vihren, the ski resort of Bansko extends its holiday season into the summer with the help of its well established jazz festival. The objectives at Bansko are to give aspiring Bulgarian musicians a stage alongside German, American and other foreign artists, and to lay out a festival that welcomes, as they say, "the free people". The first festival was held in 1998 and Bansko has been winning new friends each year ever since. The format includes events on the main stage in the middle of town and informal jazz cafe sessions and jamming at local hotels and venues


In 2008 the Bansko International Jazz Festival celebrates its 11th anniversary
