The Jazz Parade marks the start of the Kongsberg Jazz Festival, where we invite the city's residents to join us in this year's big, colorful opening parade! The parade starts from Kølabånnparken and ends in Festivalgata outside the Quality Grand Hotell.
Our officials will be providing fun face painting for Kølabånnparken and Flying Seagulls creates mischief and fun!
In Festivalgata there will be an official opening by an actor Anders Danielsen Lie, musical performances at the parade band, concert with Buskerud Youth Jazz Orchestra (BUJO) and much more.
After the opening party, we will continue with concerts in Festivalgata in the familiar style. This year it will be Cappibara which opens the concert series at 17:00 PM.
