Between Nov 25 and Dec 3, don't miss your chance to join an unforgettable experience at Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival 2023, a highly anticipated annual celebration that brings together music, culture and community in the heart of northern Thailand.

This year, the Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival will run under the theme "Sound Of The City: Grooving To Diversity", where city streets will come alive with the vibrant beats of music. What sets this festival apart is that it's not driven by corporate interests or sponsors. It's a labour of love by devoted art and music enthusiasts.

In collaboration with six of the city's renowned jazz bars, namely Moment's Notice Jazz Club, The Mellowship Jazz Club, Thapae East, Mahoree City of Music, The North Gate Jazz Co-op and The A-Ter, you can expect an array of community-based live performances that will captivate festival-goers, turning the city's streets into a symphony of sound. The main stage at the Old Chiangmai Cultural Center is a must-visit location during the festivities.

But that's not all. This year's event offers an exciting line-up of workshops throughout the week. These workshops are open to anyone eager to participate, and you can find more information on how to get involved by visiting the Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival Facebook page.
