Home > French + Jazz festival
The Festival de Jazz de Nice, also known as the “Nice Jazz Festival”, is a vibrant and eclectic event that takes place every summer in the sunny Côte d’Azur city of Nice. The atmosphere is both relaxed and energetic, blending Mediterranean mellowness with musical fervor.
The festival often takes place in iconic venues such as the Théâtre de Verdure and Place Masséna, surrounded by palm trees and lush gardens. The audience, made up of locals, tourists and jazz fans from all over the world, creates a warm, cosmopolitan atmosphere. The sound of the waves nearby mingles with the notes of saxophones, trumpets and double basses, creating a perfect harmony between music and environment.
In the evening, the golden light of the setting sun transforms into a play of light and shadow, enhancing the intimacy of the concerts. A diversity of styles, from classic jazz to jazz fusion, blues and soul, each adding its own unique touch to the festive atmosphere. Artists, often of international renown, share the stage with emerging talents, contributing to the effervescence and magic of the festival.
The Nice Jazz Festival is more than just a musical event: it’s a celebration of culture, conviviality and passion for music, in an idyllic setting where time seems to stand still.
