Public Service Announcement for Yokohama City

25th September 2024

This week's edition is on 'Yokohama Jazz Promenade 2024'.

Yokohama Jazz Promenade started in 1993, with citizens and musicians coming together under the slogan, 'Make the whole city a stage'.

This year, it will be held for the 32nd time.

A varied menu of events has been prepared this year, focusing on two days - Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th October.

Kannai Hall’s Large Hall will host a concert featuring “Fumio Itabashi’s Jazz Orchestra + Shota Koyama, Hideki Tachibana, and Nonoko Yoshida” on the 12th, and on 13th, the “Czech Special Stage”.

Other concerts will also be held, at Kannai Small Hall, Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No. 1, and Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall.

There is no doubt that you will hear exciting and moving stage performances that can only be experienced in Yokohama.

Tickets are now on sale.

Free street performances for everyone to enjoy will also be held in 14 locations in the city, including Minato Mirai and Bashamichi, using event spaces on street corners and commercial premises.

A variety of musicians will be featured, from veterans to student bands, so please visit the venues.

Yokohama is also home to many jazz clubs. Take in the unique atmosphere of these clubs, which is different to that of halls or street corners, while you enjoy the jazz music up close to the bands.
