Two festival events, JazzTime Rijeka and European Jazz Days, have been fused into a musical treat for all jazz fans, that will span several days.

By keeping up the legendary tradition of jazz, this year’s JazzTime Rijeka festival will once again, for the 29th year running, open its doors to the delight of all fans of top-notch music, and present musicians that share a love for jazz and the “city that flows”.

This year, due to the all too familiar COVID-19 pandemic, the festival will take place earlier than usual, and rely on local jazz forces, in cooperation with the European Jazz Days project.

European Jazz Days is a brand new festival project and part of European Capital of Culture – Rijeka 2020, which is envisioned as a multi-day showcase of the European and local jazz scene, and jazz music in general. Jazz will be brought to the general public via concert performances by musicians from Rijeka and its surroundings, who will perform their original compositions influenced by the European jazz tradition, with the aim of promoting cooperation between local and European musicians.
