The Street Music Festival was held in Amman, the capital city of Jordan to pay homage to Jordanian and Arabic musical heritage.

"Our goal is to bridge the gap between young Jordanian artists and their audience. The concept of street musical evenings allows us to bring our cherished Jordanian musical culture to the streets, eliminating the barriers of ticket purchases or formal attire required at traditional music venues. Through this project, we strive to deliver the essence of our Jordanian and Arabic musical heritage to the public, even to those who may simply pass by."

According to organizers, the festival aims to illuminate the wealth of Jordanian musical experiences.
