The Festival Django Reinhardt is a Gypsy jazz music festival held during late June or early July at Samois-sur-Seine, France, and, since 2017, in the grounds of the nearby Château de Fontainebleau.[1] It began as a single evening festival in 1968, but in 1983, became an annual week-long event commemorating Django Reinhardt and his music.[2]
The festival combines a musical program with creative, leisure and artistic activities about jazz, guitars and Gypsies.
