From October 29 to 31, the Palais des Congrès Antipolis in Juan-les-Pins will host the eighth edition of Jammin’Juan, the professional fair dedicated to emerging jazz. This event turns the Riviera into an international hub of music, encounters, and discoveries, offering young European talents a unique stage before promoters, journalists, and jazz enthusiasts.
The program unfolds on two stages active daily from 2 p.m., featuring 35-minute showcases that allow artists to present their music to both professionals and the general audience. Each evening at 9 p.m., the amphitheater of the Palais des Congrès will host a headline concert, followed by networking sessions in the dedicated bar area.
There will also be events for younger audiences: on Thursday, October 30, the Médiathèque Albert Camus will present two special shows (at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.) designed for local leisure centers, introducing children to the world of jazz.
