The story behind it
Rooted in Marezige’s local jazz culture since 2004, MareziJazz brings together home-grown musicians and visiting ensembles. By focusing on big-band and jazz orchestra performances, it highlights a distinctive musical niche in the Primorska region. The festival’s tagline “Kozarec dobre glasbe” (“a glass of good music”) reflects its grassroots vibe and community-organized origins.
