What is Txikijazz?
Txikijazz offers families and their children the chance to enjoy and learn from music and art while playing.
Txikijazz, organised by the San Sebastián Festival, was born in 2013 with the aim of creating a space where family can share and learn while taking pleasure in music and art.
The festival is designed for a generation of parents who want to share their spare time with their children, to teach them, have fun with them and encourage them to enhance their knowledge of music and art as the audience of the future.
Open and free of charge, Txikijazz runs in July on the same dates as the San Sebastián Festival.
