Saint Jazz Cap Ferrat 2026: three nights of world-class jazz under the stars on the French Riviera

Jazz will once again take centre stage on the French Riviera this summer with Saint Jazz Cap Ferrat 2026, one of the most elegant and atmospheric music events of the international summer season.

From 6 to 8 August 2026, the peninsula of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat will welcome three exceptional evenings of concerts in the stunning setting of the Jardin de la Paix, where jazz melodies meet the beauty of the Mediterranean landscape, surrounded by pine trees, sea breezes and the unique atmosphere of summer nights on the Côte d’Azur.

Celebrating its 14th edition, the festival continues to embody its distinctive spirit: a perfect balance between artistic excellence, an intimate atmosphere and a close connection between musicians and audiences, turning every performance into a memorable experience.

A jazz festival combining international excellence and emerging talents

Over the years, the Saint Jazz Cap Ferrat stage has welcomed some of the greatest names in international jazz, building a strong reputation for artistic quality and innovative programming.

The 2026 edition will once again follow this philosophy, bringing together established international artists and rising stars of contemporary jazz, while exploring a wide range of musical influences and styles.

From traditional jazz to world music influences, from soul-inspired atmospheres to modern creative expressions, the festival will offer audiences a rich and diverse musical journey.

“Sip, Dine & Jazz”: where music meets gastronomy

Saint Jazz Cap Ferrat is more than a music festival: it is a complete sensory experience.

Before and after the concerts, visitors can enjoy the festival atmosphere at the “La Pointue du Cap” area, a panoramic space overlooking the Mediterranean offering live cooking, snacks, desserts, cocktails, wines and sparkling selections.

During performances, the food service will be intentionally reduced to preserve the quality of the listening experience, limiting noise and movement so that audiences can fully immerse themselves in the music.
