UMBRIA TRAVEL DIRECTORY
Umbria Jazz:
Every July, Perugia hosts the Umbria Jazz Festival, one of the most popular jazz events in Europe. And every year since 1973, this beautiful medieval hill city has drawn thousands of music lovers, young and old, from all over the world, to play and hear all styles of jazz. Local performers get a chance to jam with the experts and the streets are filled with people carrying instruments to concerts and music sessions.
Along with the indoor paid-entrance venues, the festival offers many outdoor concerts free to the public – a generous offer that makes a visit to this festival much less expensive that it might otherwise be. From the middle of the day until late at night, you’ll be entertained by top quality musical performances. These can be found along the Corso Vannucci and in the Piazza IV Novembre – the city’s historic main square – as well as the public gardens, known as the Giardini Carducci. The streets are still crowded well after midnight, with appreciative music fans enjoying impromptu concerts and singing, dancing, eating and drinking. Visit the Official Umbria Jazz Page
