About

Running since 1994, this early-summer jazz festival brings Lithuanian and international jazz to Klaipėda's Theatre Square, the castle area and clubs around the port city, with concerts in nearby resorts too.

Highlights

  • Open-air main-stage concerts on Theatre Square
  • International and Lithuanian jazz, plus workshops and children's events
  • Three decades of seaside jazz tradition

Practical tips

  • Combine it with the Curonian Spit, a short ferry ride away
  • Main-stage concerts are on the final weekend
  • Klaipėda is about 4 hours from Vilnius by train, so plan an overnight stay
