Cittadella Jazz Festival
Big names in national and international jazz under the walls
About Cittadella Jazz
Jazz under the walls of Cittadella
The Cittadella Jazz Festival is the jazz event in Cittadella (province of Padua) that enlivens the historic center at the end of August with three days of concerts. The focal point is Piazza Pierobon, where leading national artists and international guests take turns on stage, in a program that alternates concerts, a musical parade, and an exhibition.
A festival that has grown year by year
Born in the early 2000s, the festival quickly established itself as one of the most anticipated events in Veneto jazz, in dialogue with the Padova Jazz network. The format generally includes nine concerts concentrated over three days, mostly with free admission, featuring a program ranging from author jazz to swing, from organ jazz to fusions with Italian song.
A square that becomes a stage
The atmosphere of the walled city, with its ramparts and squares, provides the perfect backdrop for an event that attracts enthusiasts from all over the Veneto and enhances the link between live music and the historical heritage of the Alta Padovana.
