Jazz Festival – is a music, first of all.
Chernihiv Jazz Open features smooth and powerful line-up. Professional jazz bands from Ukraine and teams from many countries take part in this event.
Chernihiv Shevchenko Music and Drama Theatre, located at the Central square, is a main stage of the fest, where two concerts are held during two days.
Free concerts of young jazz bands take place in the “Zelena Scena” festival, which is also located nearby the central Red Square of the city at the beginning of the Walk of Heroes. And the true fans of jazz jams in a relaxed atmosphere are invited to the after-party.

The festival takes place in September, the most romantic period of the fall – Indian summer. These days the old Chernihiv with its parks, painted yellow autumn leaves, numerous churches and monasteries looks especially lovely and romantic. In this magical autumn weekend you will get an unforgettable experience not only of great music but also from the cozy and charming Chernihiv. Except, actually, festival information, this site offers advice on supporting tourism infrastructure.
Chernihiv Jazz Open is a big get-together, intertwining impressive power of the audience and talented musicians. Good festival consists of many little things, and we pay them much attention. Sincere thanks to the musicians and spectators from around the world – it is the best appreciation of our work.
During intermission all visitors and festival guests are treated by our food-partners. Light snacks and drinks will add some power and help tune in the jazz wave.
Welcome to the jazz weekend in Chernihiv! See you at the Chernihiv Jazz Open events!
