The Debrecen Wine and Jazz Days are the 3rd largest wine event in Hungary and the largest jazz festival in terms of the number of participating artists!
For 4 days, more than half a hundred Hungarian wineries offer about four hundred wines on the country’s largest gastrojazz program series, and 286 Hungarian jazz musicians provide good atmosphere in 4 jazz formations on 4 stages. Within the framework of exclusive wine tastings, we can taste the Wines of the City of Debrecen, and we can also meet the winemakers of the winning winerie (protection certificate required to attend the event). The merger of two of perhaps the most exciting summer outdoor programs of the previous decades, the Debrecen Wine and Jazz Days, is an undivided audience success in Debrecen. In the renewed surroundings of the Great Forest, on the shores of Lake Békás, the oldest continuously operating Hungarian jazz festival (the first was in 1972) and the Wine Carnival (the first was in 2000) were re-organized by the Debrecen Wine and Jazz Days. represents the forefront of the Hungarian gastro-cultural program offer.

Never before have so many jazz formations (61) and jazz musicians (286)
The concerts of Hungary’s oldest, continuously operating Hungarian jazz festival will take place in the vicinity of Lake Békás, on four different stages. 61 concerts on the four jazz stages, a total of 286 Hungarian jazz musicians entertain the high-ranking.
One of the central figures of jazz in Debrecen was Zoltán Zakar, who died at the age of 61 on February 10 this year after a long-term serious illness. The artist from Debrecen was not only a trombone, but also an excellent composer and arranger. He has worked several times with the BJO led by Gábor Kollmann, who will remember Zoltán Zakar in a musical main concert at his concert on August 7. “Zoltán Zakar is remembered by the Budapest Jazz Orchestra on Saturday, August 7, at the Debrecen Wine and Jazz Days. Over the past eight years, many orchestrations and compositions have been the fruit of their joint work. BJO’s four-part vocal record, Levente Szörényi and BJO, Elvis Presley concert, Vera Tóth and BJO’s productions were unimaginable without the fantastic orchestrations of Zoltán Zakar. The culmination of their joint work culminated in a multi-movement work entitled “Secrets of the Forest”, which is an exciting composition featuring several genres of jazz, composed for ZJO by Zoltán Zakar. The unique evening – on which the jazz singer Urbán Orsi and trumpet artist László Galyas will be the partners of the band – will start on Saturday, August 7, at 10:45 pm on the Stég Stage near Lake Békás.
