The story

Ladies' Jazz Festival in Gdynia

The Ladies' Jazz Festival is a Gdynia-based jazz festival founded in 2005 that is dedicated entirely to women performing jazz, reaching its 21st edition in 2025 under the current Energa Ladies' Jazz Festival branding. Concerts run across several days each year, spreading from Gdynia's Musical Theatre into Wejherowo and open public spaces along Poland's Baltic coast.

The Ladies' Jazz Festival was founded in 2005 by Polish music journalist and promoter Piotr Lyszkiewicz with a singular organizing principle: every performer on its bill is a woman working across the many subgenres of jazz.
