CITADELIC FESTIVAL 2025 #18
         * adventure in music in a park




...


free entrance


From Wednesday May 28 until Sunday June 1, Citadelic Festival's 18th edition emerges with another scope of adventurous music and a focus on improvisation and jazz, open for the young and the old.  The offerings will be eclectic, the atmosphere amicable; classical, avant-garde, indie, contemporary, or experimental, the program is so versatile that everyone should find something to their liking.

Originality, the underbelly of society, developing one's own voice and embarking on a musical quest is what has made jazz a global art form.
No less than 5 days on a musical rollercoaster, that's what we envision, with more than 30 concerts. In addition to fascinating music, you can continuously enjoy a summer snack and a fresh drink, offered by El Negocito.

You get the opportunity to hear amazing musicians and artist, local but also international ...;
but we're also eagerly anticipating Akira Sakata's daily musical escapades as artist in residence besides ... and so much more

Welcome
