Jazz in Marciac

For over four decades, Jazz in Marciac has enticed music enthusiasts from all corners of the globe to its annual three-week-long event near Toulouse, Occitania. Each summer since 1978, flocks of more than 200,000 attendees come together for this legendary celebration, marking its 45th edition from July 20th until August 5th, 2023.

Every year, the main square of this village is transformed into a feast for music lovers with its enormous marquee that can host up to 6,000 revelers. By nightfall, enthralling concerts are held in the same spot, and local restaurants and taverns serve extraordinary dishes accompanied by melodic tunes from various musicians. For years, many acclaimed international artists have serenaded their attendees at this beloved festival.

Marciac is a notable town that deserves to be celebrated any time of the year. Its delightful street market and pleasant evenings from Spring through Fall are ideal for al fresco dining and star-gazing. Furthermore, consider attending the Jazz Museum Les Territoires du Jazz and visiting local Armagnac vineyards or Plaimont wine growers, where you can sponsor a vine in honor of your favorite jazz musician!
