A world-renowned music festival in the heart of Nice
First held in 1948, the Nice Jazz Festival is considered the world’s very first international jazz festival. Over the decades, it has welcomed legendary performers including Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Miles Davis. Today, its line-up embraces a wide range of genres—traditional jazz, soul, funk, electronic music, hip-hop and global sounds.
Concerts take place on some of Nice’s most iconic open-air stages, such as Place Masséna and Théâtre de Verdure, offering a truly memorable setting between the Mediterranean and lush city gardens.
A warm, relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere
What sets the Nice Jazz Festival apart is its welcoming, laid-back vibe. Festival-goers wander from stage to stage, dance, unwind on the grass and enjoy free entertainment as part of the Fest’OFF programme: live performances throughout the city, late-night jam sessions, food stalls showcasing local flavours, pétanque courts and more.
The festival is designed for everyone, with a dedicated Kid’s Club and inclusive services to ensure accessibility for guests with disabilities.
