What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Free admission across the full programme since the festival's founding in 2000 removes cost as a barrier to an event that has hosted over 265 bands and around 2,900 musicians from 28 countries, a cumulative international scale that positions it as Greece's largest jazz festival by history rather than a single standout edition

02

The mystery stays covered

Its venue, Technopolis's former gasworks complex, gives performances a distinctive industrial backdrop of exposed brick and ironwork left from the site's working history, and side programming including photographic tributes, book presentations and educational activities extends the event well beyond a straightforward concert series into a broader cultural gathering
