This festival is primarily known for three things: its long history; the beauty of its settings for music; its mission as a showcase for experimental European jazz. The Südtirol Jazz Festival started in 1982. Despite the fact that its lineups rarely include big-name artists, this annual event is neither small nor unambitious. Whereas most jazz festivals are located in one town and sometimes in one venue, Südtirol spreads itself far beyond its base in Bolzano, Italy. There are concerts all across the South Tyrol region.
