Zelenkovac Jazz Festival is held every year in the ecological zone Zelenkovac, located in the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 15 km from Mrkonjić Grad and 60 km south of Banja Luka. During three days, in the end of July, the festival offers live jazz music, as well as workshops on different subjects such as culture, environmental protection or sustainable tourism.
Through this peaceful, multi-ethnic event in a pristine nature, access to jazz music is offered to everyone in a rural area where cultural happenings have to be developed and supported. Local and upcoming artists have the opportunity to play along with international renowned pairs (over the past years: Monty Waters (USA), Hanes Backman (Germany), Imre Kesegi (Hungary), Michael Blum (Belgrade/Tel-Aviv), Vlatko Stefanovski (FYROM), Troitsa (Belarus), Let’s Quit (Netherland), Jamaican Jukebox, Jazz Foundation (Netherland), W5 (France), among others).

Zelenkovački Jazz Festival održava se svake godine krajem jula unutar ekološke zone locirane u srcu Bosne i Hercegovine udaljene 15 km od Mrkonjić Grada, a 70 od Banjaluke. Tokom tri dana pored živih jazz svirki, u ponudi festivala nađu se i radionice koje se bave kulturom, zaštitom okoliša i održivim turizmom.
Kroz ovaj multietnički događaj u iskonskoj prirodi pružamo ruku pomirenja i otvaramo pristup jazz muzici lokalnom ruralnom podneblju unutar kojeg kulturni događaji tek trebaju biti razvijeni i podržani. Lokalnim i nadolazećim umjetnicima/cama se otvara mogućnost da nastupaju na istoj bini sa poznatim izvođačima. (Proteklih godina, neki od njih: Monty Waters (SAD), Hanes Backman (Njemačka), Imre Kesegi (Mađarska), Michael Blum (Beograd/Tel-Aviv), Vlatko Stefanovski (BJR Makedonija), Troitsa (Bjelorusija), Let’s Quit (Holandija), Jamaican Jukebox, Jazz Foundation (Holandija), W5 (Francuska)…)
