Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois-sur-Seine, France (2009)

The Festival de Jazz Django Reinhardt is a Gypsy jazz music festival held in the last full weekend in June at Samois-sur-Seine, France since 1968.[1] It began as a single evening festival, but by 1980 it became an annual week-long event commemorating Django Reinhardt and his music.[2]

The festival combines a musical program with creative, leisure and artistic activities about jazz, guitars and Gypsies.
