DjangoFest

In its 10th year, Djangofest will feature nine bands and five dance groups in a celebration of gypsy jazz music inspired by 20th-century Belgian Jean "Django" Reinhardt at the Technopolis complex in Athens' Gazi district. "Django" Reinhardt traveled through Europe performing solo and in a quintet during the World War II era.

Inspired by the life and work of the legendary Romani-French guitarist Jean "Django" Reinhardt, Djangofest Athens, now in its eighth year, celebrates all things gypsy jazz, with music concerts, film screenings, dance activities, events for children and more. The event at Technopolis is admission-free and starts at 7 p.m.

The seventh edition of the Djangofest is scheduled to take place at the Technopolis Cultural Complex in central Athens on September 20 and 21. The event celebrates gypsy jazz with live music performances, seminars, workshops, screenings and interactive games for children, among others. Doors open at 5.30 p.m. and admission is free of charge.
