The 8th Porvoo Jazz Festival, which presents a wide range of jazz genres, will begin on Friday 25 September. The venues of the festival are the event's own home stage Vanha 123, the pop-up club 123 Kellari on its lower floor, and Porvoo Art Hall, with which the festival is collaborating for the first time this year.
