Although Garana Jazz Festival is known as the first event of this kind in south-eastern Europe, Bran is now making a name on the national jazz scene. Not only jazz, but both contemporary and classical projects are performed, many as a premiere. The event is taking place in Bran Castle’s interior castle and in the Evangelic Church in Rasnov. More information about this event is available here.
