Size doesn't matter, Jazz does!
Porvoo Jazz Festival ry
Porvoo Jazz Festival is an association that organises events with a big heart. We don’t take jazz too seriously, but we want to create experiences for the audience and the performers. We present the most up-to-date and carefully selected jazz and manage the cultural space Vanha 123.
