The jazz festival between Busto Arsizio and Castellanza
About Eventi in Jazz
Jazz between Busto Arsizio and Castellanza
Eventi in Jazz is the jazz festival that unites two towns in the Alto Milanese region, Busto Arsizio and Castellanza, both in the province of Varese. The concerts are held at the Teatro Sociale Delia Cajelli in Busto Arsizio and the Teatro Dante in Castellanza, with a program that runs between autumn and winter.
A Quality Offering
Promoted by the VCO association, the festival's distinctive feature is its quality: the lineup alternates established names in national and international jazz with more accessible projects, designed to introduce new audiences to this musical genre. Over the years, the festival has hosted prominent artists from the jazz scene and dedicated evenings to the memory of great local musicians.
Focus on Young People
An important aspect of the festival is its pricing policy favouring young people: free admission for under-20s (by reservation) and reduced tickets for students, as well as season tickets. A concrete way to cultivate new audiences and embed jazz culture within the local community.
Two Theatres, One Season
The itinerant format between Busto Arsizio and Castellanza allows for the promotion of two historic theatre venues and the engagement of audiences from both cities, making Eventi in Jazz a highly anticipated event in the autumn cultural calendar of the Alto Milanese region.
Eventi in Jazz — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of Eventi in Jazz is scheduled between October and November 2026, with concerts held at the Teatro Sociale in Busto Arsizio and the Teatro Dante in Castellanza. The festival, promoted by the VCO association, continues its quality formula alternating established national and international jazz artists with more accessible proposals. The complete lineup with artists and exact dates will be announced in the weeks preceding the season's start.
