Picture this: the moonlight and the sound of Jazz, surrounded by books in Porto! We are talking sound and substance in the most relevant literary event in the city of Porto. 

The "Porta Jazz ao Relento" cycle features six free entry concerts in the Gardens of Palácio de Cristal, during Porto Book Fair. The event is held with limited capacity, due to ongoing pandemic.

"In a year marked by several cancellations, Porta-Jazz ao Relento persists and it will take place to offer the city the best original Jazz done in Porto", as stated by the municipal company Ágora, which supports the event via the Porta-Jazz music association of Porto.

This will be the ninth edition of Porta-Jazz ao Relento, which kicks-off on 28th August and it is held every Friday and Saturday till 123th September, starting at 9.30pm, at the Gardens of Palácio de Cristal, in the lawn next to the Lago dos Cavalinhos.
