Dear friends and supporters of A to JazZ Festival,

I would like to express my deepest gratitude, on behalf of myself, the entire team, and the artists of A to JazZ. The unwavering support you showed us grew into a powerful wave that completely transformed the situation for the festival.

At the end of last week, the impossible became possible. During its final session, the caretaker government’s Council of Ministers allocated an extraordinary budget to the National Cultural Calendar for 56 approved projects. This funding covers the months of May and June, securing the entire cultural sector and landmark events of national significance. This includes our beloved A to JazZ Festival, which will ultimately receive the necessary funding through the Ministry of Culture.

The support gathered from you—our audience—is worth so much more than money! We will keep the emotion and the love you sent our way, but we will be returning every single donation to each and every one of you. We believe this is the right thing to do, as the problem for which we reached out has now been resolved. The refunding process will take place in stages over the next 14 days, as thousands of you supported us and it takes technical time to complete.

The strength of the community we have built together over the years is immense and will last forever. Thank you for your trust, your passion, your sharing, and your togetherness!

We look forward to seeing you from July 2nd to 5th in our beautiful festival park to welcome magnificent musicians from all over the world. You can find the full lineup here in our website.

Sofia is Jazz!
