The prestigious international festival Jazz Goes to Town brings to the classical music concert halls and untraditional stages of Hradec Králové jazz in all its forms.

The dramaturgy of the festival features top local and foreign musicians, new jazz projects and beginning players. The 24nd edition wants to continue the high standards of this musical event and mediate the wide spectrum of jazz art to the city residents and visitors from outside. The diversity of jazz styles, the fusion with other artistic genres, and themed accompanying programmes are what make the autumn atmosphere in Hradec Králové so singular and enticing.

The festival programme is presented at various venues across the Hradec Králové city centre. In addition to concert halls, theatres and music clubs the performers will also appear in bars and cafés as well as in untraditional industrial or sacral venues.
