The Zierikzee Jazz Festival is an annual event held in the historic harbor town of Zierikzee, in the province of Zeeland. Established in 1994, it has grown to become one of the largest open-air jazz festivals in the Netherlands. The festival consistently showcases both internationally acclaimed artists and emerging talent within the jazz genre and related styles. A defining feature is its utilization of multiple stages throughout the town center – including squares, streets and courtyards – creating a vibrant and accessible musical experience for attendees. The festival aims to present a diverse program encompassing mainstream jazz, free improvisation, and cross-over projects.
