Every year since 2001, Athens Jazz gives us a date at the end of spring marking the official start of the concert summer for Athens. The city’s longest-running music institution with free admission hosts a variety of jazz trends, bands and acts with international careers and recognition from every corner of the globe, attracting more than 6,000 visitors a day.

For 7 consecutive days, Technopolis is the focus of the now-established annual meeting for Athenians and visitors to the city, an exciting celebration, at the core of which is jazz music. It opens its doors, from morning to night, and welcomes people of all ages who enjoy a rich – international standards – musical program with live shows and parallel activities in Gazi and throughout the city.

To date, more than 250 international and domestic bands and 2,850 musicians from 28 countries have participated in Athens Jazz.
