What makes the Jazzfestival Saalfelden 2025 so special
This year’s Jazzfestival in Saalfelden impresses not only with an international line-up of artists from more than 26 nations, but above all with its creative approach: premieres, new projects, and unusual musical constellations take centre stage. Visitors can expect a weekend filled with musical surprises, sonic experiments, and intense encounters.
A particular highlight in 2025 is again the “We Hike Jazz” format – a sell-out sound hike with concerts along idyllic routes. If you prefer to be inspired spontaneously, you’ll find musical discoveries at the free City Tracks right in the heart of town.
The festival was also honoured with the European Jazz Network Programming Award 2025 – a recognition of the innovative spirit and creativity that make the Jazzfestival Saalfelden such a cultural exception.
