The International Jazz Festival of Miercurea Ciuc/Csíkszereda is an annual event not to be missed for jazz fans and live music lovers alike, as it features fantastic voices, personalities and bands from the country's most famous musicians to world stars. The small event, which started as a mini jazz festival, is now without a doubt one of the most important musical events not only in the city and the region, but also in Szeklerland. Its strength lies not only in the belief and dedication in its organisation, but also in the freedom of the many genres and the variety of live music.

Each year in July, early music sounds in Miercurea Ciuc. During a whole week, early music concerts are given by musicians from our country and abroad, in the Mikó Castle and in various locations of our town. The idea of the Early Music Festival was formulated in 1979 in the memory of Kájoni János, and was established in 1980 by the Barozda and the Kájoni Ensembles. In 1986 the Festival was forbidden by the authorities, and it was renewed only after the change of the regime, this time with international perception. The representatives of early music give general and master courses for the young artists, who wish to enlarge their knowledge in playing early music. The festival is held every July.
