18th International "Bohém" Ragtime & Jazz Festival
March 27-29, 2009, Kecskemét, Hungary

 
The biggest Jazz Festival of the region: although the center of the Festival is the 3 days in Kecskemét, there is 10-15 cities involved in 6-8 days every year. It is the Festival of specialties: according to the philosophy of the Festival we invite ragtime and traditional jazz bands and soloists who are among the very best and are unique in some regards - in style, instrumentation, repertoire... And, of course, they are all "Bohém" (i.e. bohemian - meaning happy, carefree, funny etc.). Visit the "Bohém" Festival - come and see it yourself, you won't regret it!
FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND IN 2009: PACKAGE PRICES, SPECIAL JAZZ TRIPS AND DETAILS ABOUT THE 2009 FESTIVAL WILL BE AVAILABLE IN MID-OCTOBER.
