I see you are planning to go to the jazz festival - I have been trying to find out the exact dates for this year's festival but they don't seem to be available yet - if you do know, would be really grateful if you can post on here as am anxious to get flights booked! Not a jazz fan per se but just fancy soaking up the festival atmosphere and seeing Bansko in summer.
