Mugham World International Festival
This cultural festival, the Shusha Festival, is hosted in Shaki.

Baku International Jazz Festival
Baku, Azerbaijan's capital city, is known for holding incredible music festivals. These events attract tourists from all over the world, and one of the largest, the Jazz Festival, is a one-of-a-kind event for all jazz enthusiasts. This is significant with Denise Fontoura, Djabe, and Albert Hera performing.
Festival Of Colours In Azerbaijan
As previously stated, the people of Azerbaijan enjoy putting on a show, which is evident at the Azerbaijan Festival of Colors. Hundreds of thousands have a great time throwing coloured powder and water at each other. The Hindu holiday of Holi inspired the event, which is observed on the first day of Spring.
Goychay Pomegranate Festival
Have you ever been to a festival where the menu was made of fruits? This is the concept behind the Goychay Pomegranate Festival, as bizarre as it may sound. There are other contests, such as the largest pomegranate eating contest. A procession with Azerbaijani music and dance is held during the festival.

The Gabala Music Festival is another well-known musical festival hosted in Azerbaijan. It is an annual classical music festival where performers perform in an open-air environment. Participants have come from all over the world, including the United States, Europe, and Israel.
