As this festival happens every year, more people get to know about the culture of Coimbra.
There are many programs arranged for the participants of the festival. The concerts will have some big names as well who are already well-established in Jazz. The event will also feature some of the local talent as well. This truly shows the aim of the festival to promote the event on every platform. The reason for having more venues within the city is to get more partnerships within the city. The network will be stronger if different venues are chosen within the city. This will strengthen the bond of the entire community.
