This summer, Sofia invites music lovers from across the globe to celebrate a major milestone. From July 2 to 5, the beautiful South Park II becomes the epicenter of global sounds as A to JazZ Festival celebrates its 15th anniversary! Under the motto "Music. People. City.", Bulgaria's biggest urban culture festival is gearing up for its most spectacular edition yet, blending world-class music, community spirit, and green lifestyle.

The festival’s main stage will feature an extraordinary gathering of global icons, virtuosos, and rising stars. The journey begins on July 2 with the vibrant World Music Showcase, introducing 12 spectacular and culturally diverse acts from all corners of the planet, followed by daily afternoon sets from exceptional European and Bulgarian jazz formations. The excitement reaches a fever pitch on July 3 when the legendary Miles Electric Band takes the stage as part of their global tour celebrating the Miles Davis Centennial, bringing together legendary Davis alumni and new-generation stars. The following night, the incomparable, multi-Grammy-winning Dee Dee Bridgewater Quartet will captivate the audience with her deeply personal and socially charged project "We Exist". Finally, on July 5, the two-time Grammy winner and rhythm polymath Nate Smith will deliver a high-energy, historic final curtain call.

A to JazZ is far more than just evening concerts, it is an all-day immersive experience designed for all generations. During the weekend, festivalgoers can kickstart their days in the park with a boost of energy by joining outdoor jazz workouts or finding their flow during uplifting music yoga sessions on an open air terrace. For the youngest jazz fans, the festival continues its heartwarming tradition of nurturing future generations with the beloved A to JazZ Kids program, featuring interactive musical workshops and stages tailored specifically for children.

As day turns to night, the festival grounds pulse with continuous cultural energy. Visitors can explore the vibrant A to JazZ Art Bazar showcasing exceptional local crafts, fashion, and design, or wander through an exclusive anniversary poster retrospective exhibition while grabbing a piece of limited-edition 15th-anniversary merchandise. When the main stage lights go down, the groove moves indoors to the legendary A to JazZ Night Stage. It will keep the festival alive until dawn, hosting thrilling live club concerts, explosive late-night Jam Sessions where headliners and local talents share the stage, and elite DJ afterparties.

With over 50,000 annual attendees, A to JazZ has solidified its spot as a prime cultural destination in Europe, combining a world-class festival atmosphere with eco-friendly initiatives and a powerful community feel. Best of all, admission to the park and the main stage remains completely free. Pack your festival blanket, book your trip to Sofia, and get ready for four unforgettable days of pure musical bliss.
