Paris Jazz Festival

Do you fancy basking in the sun in a park, or heading to a jazz concert? Make your way to the /fr/parc-floral-de-paris if you can’t decide. Here, nature and the sound of brass instruments blend together in a truly delightful harmony. A free festival, it brings a breath of musical freshness to the Parisian scene, showcasing the Île-de-France jazz scene… without missing out on the very best of the international stage. With concerts generally held during the day, it’s the perfect opportunity to soak up the sun… and the music.

Jazz in Paris Region

The Paris Jazz Festival owes its first musical flights to two passionate jazz lovers. In 1994, Franck Marchal and Olivier Bastardie launched Fleurs de jazz, an event highlighting bebop rhythms and brass sounds within the grounds of the Parc Floral de Paris. The festival evolved, changed its name, and expanded in 1999 with the creation of a dedicated stage. Named Delta, it can host up to 1,500 seated spectators or 5,000 standing.

Today, the Paris Jazz Festival brings together tens of thousands of visitors every summer. It has also become one of the most highly anticipated jazz events in the Île-de-France region. And given that Paris is one of the world’s capitals of this musical genre, it would be a shame to miss out.

Music Goes Green

The Paris Jazz Festival is just one of the highlights of the Parc Floral’s summer programme. Other events also contribute their own notes throughout the season.

Les Pestacles. In a green setting, children and families are introduced to all kinds of music from every angle: concerts, workshops, theatre… a delightful blend of humour and creativity.
Classique au Vert. In the same spirit as the Paris Jazz Festival, classical music takes over this bucolic environment. From major works to emerging creations, the festival embraces an eclectic approach.

Driven by values of sharing, inclusion, and transmission, the Parc Floral festivals also have a strong environmental commitment. Certified eco-responsible, they follow an ethical approach—from waste management and communication materials to the organisation of transport for both audiences and staff.

2026 Programme

Come and swing to jazzy tunes—and much more—from June 28, when you can be carried away by the sensitivity of the Duo Brady, followed by the collective energy of Poets of Forest, bringing together Arnaud Dolmen, Jowee Omicil, and Michel Alibo. Throughout the summer, major artists will enrich this musical journey: saxophonist Melissa Aldana, the powerful universe of Tomoki Sanders, and the distinctive voice of Lea Maria Fries. The programme continues into August with the baroque-inspired elegance of Salomé Gasselin, the modern edge of AMG, and the magnetic presence of Célia Kameni.
To close the season, Kyoto Jazz Massive accompanied by the Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra promises a vibrant and globally inspired finale. The 2026 edition celebrates a bold, diverse, and dynamic jazz scene, in a summery setting that invites discovery and emotion.

From the Parc Floral to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris Region lives and breathes Jazz.
