The Debrecen Wine and Jazz Days are the 3rd largest wine event in Hungary and the largest jazz festival in terms of the number of participating artists!
For 4 days, more than half a hundred Hungarian wineries offer about four hundred wines on the country’s largest gastrojazz program series, and 286 Hungarian jazz musicians provide good atmosphere in 4 jazz formations on 4 stages. Within the framework of exclusive wine tastings, we can taste the Wines of the City of Debrecen, and we can also meet the winemakers of the winning winerie (protection certificate required to attend the event). The merger of two of perhaps the most exciting summer outdoor programs of the previous decades, the Debrecen Wine and Jazz Days, is an undivided audience success in Debrecen. In the renewed surroundings of the Great Forest, on the shores of Lake BĂ©kĂĄs, the oldest continuously operating Hungarian jazz festival (the first was in 1972) and the Wine Carnival (the first was in 2000) were re-organized by the Debrecen Wine and Jazz Days. represents the forefront of the Hungarian gastro-cultural program offer.
The Debrecen Wine and Jazz Days gastro-cultural event won the title of âHighly Qualified Festivalâ in the Hungarian Festival Registration and Qualification System operated by the Hungarian Festival Association (in 2019) and received (in 2017) one of the most serious European festival qualifiers, EFFE (Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe) qualified festival title.
With this, the Debrecen Wine and Jazz Days entered the ranks of the most prestigious festivals in Europe.

Never before have so many jazz formations (61) and jazz musicians (286)
The concerts of Hungary’s oldest, continuously operating Hungarian jazz festival will take place in the vicinity of Lake BĂ©kĂĄs, on four different stages. 61 concerts on the four jazz stages, a total of 286 Hungarian jazz musicians entertain the high-ranking.
One of the central figures of jazz in Debrecen was ZoltĂĄn Zakar, who died at the age of 61 on February 10 this year after a long-term serious illness. The artist from Debrecen was not only a trombone, but also an excellent composer and arranger. He has worked several times with the BJO led by GĂĄbor Kollmann, who will remember ZoltĂĄn Zakar in a musical main concert at his concert on August 7. âZoltĂĄn Zakar is remembered by the Budapest Jazz Orchestra on Saturday, August 7, at the Debrecen Wine and Jazz Days. Over the past eight years, many orchestrations and compositions have been the fruit of their joint work. BJO’s four-part vocal record, Levente SzörĂ©nyi and BJO, Elvis Presley concert, Vera TĂłth and BJO’s productions were unimaginable without the fantastic orchestrations of ZoltĂĄn Zakar. The culmination of their joint work culminated in a multi-movement work entitled âSecrets of the Forestâ, which is an exciting composition featuring several genres of jazz, composed for ZJO by ZoltĂĄn Zakar. The unique evening – on which the jazz singer UrbĂĄn Orsi and trumpet artist LĂĄszlĂł Galyas will be the partners of the band – will start on Saturday, August 7, at 10:45 pm on the StĂ©g Stage near Lake BĂ©kĂĄs.
IstvĂĄn GyĂĄrfĂĄs (1962) will be the Artist in Residence for the first two days of the festival (the guitar part). He will perform with the GyĂĄrfĂĄs Family Trio with his sons (PĂ©ter GyĂĄrfĂĄs – piano, Attila GyĂĄrfĂĄs – drums) on August 6 on the StĂ©g Stage. The Artist in Residence Junior will be the event PĂ©ter Cseh (1992). He performs with his independent ensemble, the PĂ©ter Cseh Quintet (CsP – guitar, DĂĄniel Mester – saxophone, Zsolt Farkas – piano, MĂĄrk Miskolczi – bass, Ambrus Richter – drums). The material for their album âIn Betweenâ will be unveiled on Friday, August 6 at 6:45 p.m. on the JazzMa Stage.
The singer Emma Nagy (1998), who moved from Baja to Budapest, won the âDiscoverer of the Yearâ vote at www.jazzma.hu in January this year. On Saturday and Sunday of the festival, Emma will be âArtist in Residence Juniorâ and as a result she will also perform with her own band and KĂ©ri Samu in a duo. Composition of the Emma Nagy Quintet: NE vocals, PĂ©ter Cseh guitar, KrisztiĂĄn OlĂĄh piano, Ăbel DĂ©nes bass, ĂdĂĄm Klausz drums.
