Mostar Jazz Festival

Mostar Jazz Fest 2025 brings unforgettable musical moments and cultural energy that will fill the streets and stages of our city from August 22nd to 25th.

Humanitarian goal

Donation boxes will be set up throughout the festival. All proceeds from the concerts and voluntary contributions will be used to purchase percussion instruments and organize music workshops for children with Down syndrome. The remaining funds will be used to set up music installations in the city.

The audience can expect performances by domestic, regional and international jazz virtuosos, including Marko Tolja, Alex Sipiagin Quartet, Djeca iz podruma, Elvir Bandić – Banda, and a rich accompanying program: free education with music legends, workshops for children and adults, panel discussions and the MiniArt Fest.
