Jazz at Sägewerk Bad Hofgastein

The organizer of the top event is the Sägewerk in Bad Hofgastein, which has been an institution in terms of jazz concerts and small arts for many years.

Sepp Grabmaier converted the former sawmill many years ago into a unique event location. Initially an insider tip, it has been well known for several years as a meeting place for jazz lovers. The Sägewerk offers a colorful program throughout the year - from concerts to cabaret.
