Founded in 1987, "Vilnius Jazz" is the oldest annual jazz festival held in Vilnius. It is an exceptional event in Lithuania that provides a broad perspective on contemporary trends in jazz from all over the world.

Over the years “Vilnius Jazz” has earned a reputation as a radical avant-garde festival oriented towards novelty and limit-stretching creativity. 

Attracting an audience of around 5000 each year, "Vilnius Jazz" has played a formative role for several generations of jazz fans. It has also to its credit helped develop local players who have then moved onto performing in other European venues and international jazz groups. 

Festival is on: from October 7 till October 22
