Black Sea Jazz Festival has been igniting summer nights since its debut in 2007. What began as a pure jazz gathering quickly evolved to embrace blues, soul, R&B, funk, disco, rock, and hip‑hop, making it one of the region’s most eclectic music celebrations. Each July, world‑renowned acts like Snoop Dogg, George Clinton, Lisa Stansfield, Quincy Jones and Robert Plant have shared the stage alongside Georgian talents. With open‑air stages—most notably Stage 17 and jam sessions at Iveria Beach—there’s nonstop music, seaside vibes, and a party spirit that lasts from sunset till dawn.
