THE LARGEST JAZZ FESTIVAL IN THE WORLD

Awarded the title of largest Jazz Festival on the planet by Guinness World Records, the Festival is undisputedly synonymous with passion for music. Every year, the Festival offers programming where living legends rub shoulders with up-and-coming artists, where the definition of jazz expands at the crossroads of genre and influence, proving more than ever that jazz is alive and well at the heart of a music scene bubbling with creativity.

THE 24 LEGENDS OF THE FESTIVAL

Since its beginnings, the Festival has welcomed an impressive number of musicians from all walks of life: passionate bluesmen, captivating vocalists and unrivalled virtuosos. Some of these musicians strike a special chord in the Festival’s history, earning their place on the Wall of Legends. Every evening, the windows of the Maison du Festival lights up to make these legends shine.
