Why Stockholm Jazz Festival 2020:
The Stockholm Jazz Festival has grown from humble roots in 1980 to become one of the foremost events on the city’s calendar. Regularly spilling out across the whole city, and across a myriad of venues, the festival brings the Baltic city of Stockholm to life. A history of jazz music in Sweden explains why this event attracts so many visitors, and why the calibre of musicians is exceptionally high. A lack of popularity in Jazz in recent years has inspired the city to donate huge sums of money into reviving this classic event that also claims to be the oldest still running festival in the whole of Sweden.
More than 30,000 people attend the festival annually.
