The story

Nida Jazz Marathon in Nida

Nida Jazz Marathon brings several nights of mainstream and world jazz to the Curonian Spit resort town each late July, mixing Lithuanian musicians with international guests from countries including Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands and Poland. The compact seaside setting lets concerts spill easily into the town's cafes and waterfront.

Nida Jazz Marathon fills the seaside resort town of Nida with several nights of jazz each late July, staged in a setting that is itself part of the draw: the Curonian Spit, a hundred-kilometer sand bar separating the Baltic Sea from the freshwater Curonian Lagoon and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's UNESCO World Heritage setting sets it apart: concerts take place within walking distance of the towering Parnidis Dune and the Curonian Lagoon shoreline, giving the marathon format a scenic backdrop unlike any club or concert-hall jazz series elsewhere in Lithuania

02

The mystery stays covered

Because Nida can only be reached by a single road running the length of the Curonian Spit or by ferry across the lagoon, the festival draws a self-selecting audience willing to make the journey specifically for the music rather than passing through by chance
