Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival
Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival 2023
Established in 2019, the Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival has blossomed into an emblem of unity, diversity, and a shared love for jazz. Over the years, the festival has evolved from merely being a musical event into a symbol of togetherness, bringing people together through a mutual appreciation for music that transcends boundaries.
In 2023, the festival embarks on a fascinating journey of cultural transformation in Chiang Mai. With the goal of revitalizing the city's music scene, it blends global musical rhythms with local traditions, crafting a symphony of transformation that resonates across the city and beyond.
This year also marks the establishment of 'ChiangMai Touch,' a formally organized entity set to become a social entity of the future. A collaboration of the Chiang Mai Trust, Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival, the Dee Duay Roy Yim Mae Jaem community, local residents, and business associates, ChiangMai Touch epitomizes unity, shared dreams, and collaborative work.
In its fifth year, the festival continues its commitment to building a community that values diversity, uses the power of jazz to ignite change, and enhances the cultural landscape of Chiang Mai, Thai society, and the international community.
The focus in 2023 is on integrating diverse music styles from around the world to cultivate understanding and respect among different cultures. The festival also provides a fresh platform for local musicians to exhibit their creative prowess, share their cultural heritage, and engage with the Chiang Mai community.
Scheduled to take place from November 25 - December 3 at multiple venues across the city, the Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival 2023 invites you to become a part of celebrating the city's identity. It aims to strengthen the local music scene and sustainably preserve the culture of Chiang Mai's people.
