Jazz in the Park in Cluj-Napoca
Jazz in the Park is a free, community-organized outdoor jazz festival held each year in Cluj-Napoca's Central Park, founded in 2013. Evening concerts by Romanian and international jazz and world-music acts draw families and students to picnic on the lawn beside the park's historic casino building, typically in late summer or early autumn.
Cluj-Napoca's Central Park, laid out in the nineteenth century around a small lake and anchored by an ornate casino pavilion, had spent most of its history as an ordinary civic green space, the kind of park where students study and families walk on Sunday afternoons.
