The sun-drenched village, known for the positivity of its inhabitants, radiates even more energy and zest for life during the festival. Compared to previous editions, JazzAscona will no longer focus "only" on the lake promenade but will also include all the winding alleys and squares of the picturesque lakeside village. Around 50 musicians from New Orleans are expected to join artists from Ticino to enliven the bars, restaurants, squares and streets of Ascona for ten days with over 350 free concerts and shows and good mood. The lakeside promenade and the village, decorated with a thousand lights, are a sea of happy souls carried away by the music, dancing, laughing or simply enjoying the relaxed ambience over a drink.
