DjangoFest returns to Whidbey Island for a five-day festival celebrating the music and spirit of the great French/Belgian Gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt. The premier “Gypsy Jazz” festival in the western hemisphere, Djangofest Northwest is a unique opportunity for Gypsy Jazz fans, players and enthusiasts from around the globe to congregate in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and attend an extraordinary series of concerts by top internationally renowned players. In addition, we’ve expanded the workshops being offered to both guitarists and violinists, giving them the opportunity to learn from the masters. And, as always, there are numerous impromptu djam sessions popping up wherever one turns, as the entire village of Langley, on beautiful Whidbey Island, just a ferry ride from Seattle, gets into the swing of things.Please come join us for an unforgettable musical experience.
