Lahden Jazztori 2026 will be held on 10–15 November
The City of Lahti’s organisational change in its events and culture sector and the reorganisation of its grant practices cast a long shadow over the Jazztori festival, which has been organised continuously since 1989. Lahti Big Band ry (LBB), as the rights holder of the festival, was forced to seriously consider whether continuing under increasingly stringent conditions was possible at all. In the end, it was decided to keep the established event alive, but due to delayed funding decisions, the date had to be moved from September to November.
