Moldejazz

One of the absolute highlights of the year in the city of Molde is the annual jazz festival. It brings together jazz musicians from all over the world, and big names such as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock and many more have performed at Norway's great jazz festival in Molde. It is also the oldest jazz festival in Europe and has traditionally held the festival every year since 1961. The entire city of Molde is transformed into jazz during the festival week, which is held in the month of July.
