The story
Turku Sea Jazz in Turku
Turku Sea Jazz stages a summer maritime jazz programme along the Aura river and Turku archipelago, with main concerts at the Forum Marinum's riverside Boat Shelter and a free opening concert in Cathedral Park. It belongs to the Archipelago Sea Jazz network alongside Baltic Jazz, Korpo Sea Jazz and Åland Sea Jazz. It suits visitors wanting a riverside, archipelago-connected jazz experience distinct from the city's older indoor Turku Jazz Festival.
Turku Sea Jazz spreads a maritime jazz programme from downtown Turku along the Aura river and out into the surrounding archipelago each summer, staging main concerts at the Boat Shelter of the Forum Marinum Maritime Centre, where historic ships and museum spaces along the riverside give the festival a nautical framework unlike any indoor concert hall.
