Sildajazz

Sildajazz

Sildajazz is a jazz festival, which is held annually on the second weekend of August, in Haugesund, Norway.

Both domestic and international artists participates at the festival.

The festival is named after the Norwegian word for herring (sild). The reason for this can be found in the rich fishing heritage of past days, and the influence that fishing had on the creation of the city of Haugesund itself.
