The story

Saulkrasti Jazz Festival in Saulkrasti

Saulkrasti Jazz is an established annual jazz festival held each summer in the seaside town of Saulkrasti, on Latvia's Gulf of Riga coast. The programme brings together Latvian and international jazz musicians across a mix of outdoor and indoor venues, giving the festival both a concert-hall seriousness and a relaxed coastal setting. It has become one of the recurring fixtures of Latvia's summer jazz calendar outside the capital.

Saulkrasti Jazz has carved out a specific place in Latvia's summer festival calendar by pairing a serious jazz programme with a setting that could not be further from a big-city concert hall: Saulkrasti, a small town on the Gulf of Riga known primarily as a low-key seaside destination for Latvians escaping the capital for the weekend.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Saulkrasti Jazz benefits from a setting that few jazz festivals can match: a small Baltic seaside town rather than a major city, giving performances an intimate, low-pressure quality even when the lineup includes internationally recognized musicians

02

The mystery stays covered

Splitting the programme between outdoor and indoor venues lets organizers pair open-air evening concerts, well suited to summer coastal weather, with more acoustically controlled indoor sets for material that benefits from a quieter room

03

The city starts moving

Because the festival has run for enough years to be considered established, it has built a loyal audience that treats a trip to Saulkrasti as much as a coastal weekend as a concert outing, combining beach time and a relaxed small-town atmosphere with a serious jazz programme
