XI. International Dixieland Festival Pilsen

Pilsen will once again become the capital of traditional jazz. On the weekend of July 25 and 26, 2026, the 11th annual International Dixieland Festival will take place, welcoming leading Czech and international Dixieland bands.

Festival Program

The Saturday program (July 25) will take place in the garden of the Měšťanská beseda. The day will begin with the traditional "New Orleans Parade," a procession of all the bands, dancers, and passersby marching through the city center.

The following bands will then perform in the garden:

Pilsner Jazz Band
Jazz Friendly
RB Dixie Five (PL)
Alapar Jazz (AG)
J. Jazzmen & Barbora Vágnerová

Program subject to change.

Admission to the Měšťanská beseda garden is free. However, by purchasing a VIP ticket for 290 CZK, you can support the festival and secure a guaranteed seat at the front tables.

In the event of extremely inclement weather, the program will be moved from the garden to the Great Hall.
