Festival and Events

Seasonal events like the Bozcaada Jazz Festival and the Harvest Festival bring a special energy to the island. If your trip aligns with the dates, don’t miss the chance to be part of the experience.

Bozcaada’s peaceful atmosphere occasionally gives way to music, conversation, and shared celebrations throughout the year.
 Though small in size, the island plays host to festivals that carry a big spirit. If your trip happens to align with the right dates, you’ll find yourself immersed not just in an island getaway—but in an experience where art, music, and tradition come together.

One of the island’s most well-known events is the Bozcaada Jazz Festival, held every August.
There’s something magical about listening to music among the vineyards, under the stars, with the Aegean breeze all around you.
The festival is more than just concerts—it includes workshops, culinary experiences, and nature walks that celebrate the island’s creative soul.

Another highlight is the Harvest Festival, held from late August to early September.
This traditional event brings locals and visitors together to celebrate the grape harvest with vineyard activities, open-air meals, and the chance to meet local producers.

Throughout the year, local exhibitions, street concerts, cycling tours, and various gastronomy events also add to the vibrant energy of Bozcaada—making every visit a little different, and always memorable.
