Crossroads Jazz – Concerts in Rimini

Crossroads in Rimini: Jazz in the Heart of the City

Crossroads – Jazz and More in Emilia-Romagna is a true jazz marathon, described by the specialized press as «the Mille Miglia of jazz»: a travelling festival that from March to July touches dozens of municipalities in Emilia-Romagna with around 70 concerts and over 500 musicians involved. Organized by the Jazz Network ETS association in collaboration with the Department of Culture of the Emilia-Romagna Region and with the support of the Ministry of Culture, the event is now in its 27th edition.

In the Municipality of Rimini, the capital of the homonymous Province in the Romagna Riviera, Crossroads finds one of its most fascinating settings: the Corte degli Agostiniani, at Via Cairoli 40, a historic courtyard in the heart of the city centre that transforms into an intimate open-air arena in the summer. This is where the Rimini concerts of the festival are held, usually in July, starting at 9:15 PM.

A Line-up Featuring International Stars and Tributes

The Rimini programme alternates major international artists with special projects and tributes to the great voices of jazz. Over the years, the Corte degli Agostiniani has hosted leading singers, instrumentalists, and orchestras, confirming itself as one of the most anticipated events of the city's cultural summer. For the public, it is an opportunity to hear world-renowned names in an intimate and cozy setting, just a stone's throw from the sea.

Why It's Worth It

Jazz lovers will find a quality selection in Rimini that is part of a much larger regional programme: the same ticket grants access to evenings that elsewhere would require travel to major cities. The travelling format of Crossroads also allows you to discover Emilia-Romagna through music, but in Rimini, the festival especially offers the magic of an evening outdoor concert in the historic centre, within the walls of a building steeped in history.
