Weekend essential: Jaipur International Jazz and Blues Festival

This weekend, you can have a date with the best of Jazz and Blues in the Pink City. Yes, Jaipur would be hosting the Jaipur International Jazz and Blues Festival on March 8 and March 9, 2019. The festival promises to bring together artists from across the country and the world, and aims to introduce the audience to the said music genres.

While the festival has been to many cities across India, it will be the first time that it is coming to Jaipur. A two-day affair, it will be hosted in Central Park, and is already creating a lot of buzz. If you are a fan of either of the two genres or are still not over the magic of Hollywood movie La La Land, that was centred around a Jazz pianist and an actor, this is your chance to delve deeper into it. Other than the festival, Jaipur also has a number of attractions and sites that should be on your itinerary. At just a 4-hour drive from Delhi, the national capital, it makes for a perfect weekend getaway. It is also well connected by air with all the major cities across the country. Once you have your dose of music at the Jaipur International Jazz and Blues Festival, do not forget to spend some time exploring the Pink City or gorging over the famous desserts of Jaipur.
