Another great festival in July in Italy! From July 22 to 27, 2025, the city of Lecco will swing with jazz rhythms for the 10th edition of the Lecco Jazz Festival, a dynamic open-air music series that celebrates jazz in all its forms — classic, modern, funky, soulful, and experimental.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains, the concerts take place in scenic piazzas and historical villas. Best of all? Admission is free until seats run out, and there’s always an indoor backup venue in case of rain.
