The eleventh edition of the Togoville Jazz Festival is scheduled to take place from April 15 to 24, 2025, once again uniting musicians and jazz fans around a varied lineup. This year, the festival will feature several international delegations, highlighting a prominent representation from Canada as a special guest.
The involvement of Canadian artists stems from a collaboration between the festival and Musication, an organization dedicated to fostering and promoting music, particularly in French-language vocal genres. The Canadian delegation will include musicians, event organizers, representatives from production companies, presenters, and artist entrepreneurs, creating an opportunity for networking and collaboration with local participants.
This international participation aligns with one of the festival’s goals: to advance the professional development of artists and the performing arts. To support this mission, in addition to the concert schedule, training sessions and discussions will be organized to enhance interactions among various stakeholders in the music industry. The aim is to showcase Togolese talent while positioning the festival within a framework of international engagement.

With around thirty concerts planned, the festival will occur not only in Lomé but also in numerous cities and towns throughout the country. Nonetheless, the festival’s core focus remains in Togoville, situated on the left shore of Lake Togo, where the area’s history and cultural legacy contribute to the festival’s distinctive character.
