Tarragona International Dixieland Festival

First held: 1994

Tarragona International Dixieland Festival is a jazz festival, Spain, first held in 1994.

The Tarragona International Dixieland Festival (Catalan: Festival Internacional Dixieland de Tarragona) was started in Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain, in 1994. Since the restoration of democratic local governments, jazz had been recovered as a stable form of the different cultural programs during the year. As other Catalan and Spanish cities already had jazz festivals in a generic sense, the Town Hall of Tarragona opted to specialize in Dixieland. That is to say, the starting point of jazz, the most traditional jazz, which has since involved some musical innovation. Since then, it has become a unique Dixieland festival in Spain and one of the major musical events in Catalonia. Some journalists have considered it as one of the four most important Dixieland festivals in Europe: Breda (Netherlands), Dresden (Germany), Miskolc (Hungary) and Tarragona (Spain).
