The Malta Jazz and Rock Festival takes place on the third weekend of July of every year. Three Mediterranean nights of international jazz by world-renowned players in a unique setting take place. Staged below the bastions of the 16th century city of Valletta, and by the waters of Grand Harbour, it certainly has a SPECTACULAR LOCATION. Organised by the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts and NNG Promotions, this year the festival is from the 18th – 20th July.
