Three decades after its founding, Guimarães Jazz is today an emblematic cultural event of the city of Guimarães and one of the reference festivals in Portugal dedicated to the dissemination of one of the most influential musical expressions of modernity.

Over the course of two weeks, historic names and emerging names in jazz pass through the city, from all nationalities, generations and stylistic affiliations, united by the common goal of celebrating musical art in an event that temporarily transforms this ancient city into a meeting point between the past and the future of global music.
