Copenhagen Jazz Festival (often called Københavns Jazzfestival) turns Copenhagen, Denmark into a citywide celebration of live jazz each July, traditionally starting on the first Friday of July and running about 10 days. Expect 1,200+ concerts across 100+ venues—from clubs and concert halls to parks, squares, and harbourfront pop-ups—with plenty of free open-air stages for easy, drop-in listening. Follow the sound from daytime courtyard sets to late-night jam sessions.
