Festival Story:
This is the largest jazz event in Bulgaria. The festival brings together musicians from Bulgaria, the Black Sea countries, and from around the world. The festival is not just a series of performances but of groupings with a mission and, occasionally, a take home product. The festival uses the music of jazz to accomplish a bond between countries and cultures. The festival is tied into a record company so that recordings are made of some of the collaborative events hosted during the festival. If the mission and the music are not enough for you, you can also try out the nearby seaside resorts. The most bizarre site to visit? The Stone Forest. Close to Varna, these structures are completely natural and over fifty million years old! Easy to be in the “forest” by day, and then with the jazz in the night.
