Chiang Mai Jazz Festival
2025-12-01 - 2025-12-08 | Chiang Mai Thailand, Chiang Mai, Thailand
Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival 2025
The 7th Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival
“Chiang Mai Jazz City: Let the City Play its Jazz”

What if a place wasn’t remembered by its sights, but instead by its sounds?
Chiang Mai is discovering its identity through a new melody, and that language is ‘Jazz.’

‘Jazz’ isn’t just imported music; it is an embraced culture. It is the charm of improvisation, seeping into the daily lives of the city’s people. It is a dialogue that arises between cultural heritage and the pulse of the modern era.

A “Jazz City” doesn’t mean a city with performance stages, but a city where the entire city becomes the stage. It is a city where the chatter of people, the rhythm of the wind, and the colors of the streets merge and are played out as a single song.

The 7th Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival is a celebration where the line between artist and audience blurs, and we all become part of a grand orchestra named “Chiang Mai.”

We invite you to be part of an experience where the entire city rises to play jazz together. From December 1-4, with street jazz performances in the old town; December 5-6, 2025, with mini-concerts at leading jazz bars across the city: Moment’s Notice Jazz Club, The Mellowship Jazz Club, Mahoree City of Music, Karmar Community Space, and The North Gate Jazz Co-op; and on December 7, 2025, the main stage event at the Old Chiang Mai Cultural Center.

Come, let’s play our city’s song, loud and clear.

Yi Peng Lantern Festival 2025
2025-11-05 - 2025-11-06 | Thailand, Thailand
Loy Krathong coincides with the Lanna (northern Thai) festival known as the Yi Peng Lantern Festival. Yi means ‘two’ and peng means a ‘full moon day’. Yi Peng refers to the full moon day in the second month according to the Lanna lunar calendar (the twelfth month of the Thai lunar calendar). The festival is meant as a time to make merit.
Swarms of sky lanterns (Thai: โคมลอย; RTGS: khom loi), literally: ‘floating lanterns’, are launched into the air. Khom loi are made from a thin fabric, such as rice paper, stretched over a bamboo or wire frame, to which a candle or fuel cell is attached. When the fuel cell is lit, the resulting hot air is trapped inside the lantern and creates enough lift for the khom loi to float into the sky. During the festival, some people also decorate their houses, gardens, and temples with khom fai (Thai: โคมไฟ), intricately shaped paper lanterns which take on different forms.
Chiang Mai Tips:

No need to buy tickets or pay. From Tha Phae Gate square along Tha Phae Road, down to the Ping River are all free festivities.
Parade along Tha Phae Road is free.
Can purchase Lanterns from vendors along the way.
Can purchase Krathong’s and release in the river across the bridge.
The old city hotels fill up, so book as soon as possible.

This festival traces its origin back to India.
Loy Krathong takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar, so the exact date of the festival changes every year. In the Western calendar this usually falls in the month of November. In Chiang Mai, the festival lasts three days.
