The Andernos Jazz Festival, established in 1968 on the Bassin d'Arcachon, is a free and open-air festival that transpires over three days during the last weekend of July. This spectacular event happens across three stages situated at iconic locations in Andernos-les-bains!
The Andernos Jazz Festival, driven by an enthusiastic spirit of passion, becomes increasingly successful each year. This small group of friends brings together international stars like Cab Calloway, Lionel Hampton, Stéphane Grappelli, Carie Smith, and upcoming national talents such as Fats Domino. During the three-day program, all musicians will be given a chance to shine on stage - from those already established in their musical careers to aspiring young jazz artists proudly representing their region!
In 2023, the Andernos Jazz Festival has the esteemed honor of commemorating its 50th anniversary! This notable milestone is thanks to its diverse programming and free concerts, which entice nearly 30,000 spectators to gather in beautiful Andernos-les-Bains.
For three days straight, starting from July 28 until 30, revelers can enjoy a variety of musical performances - from parading through the streets with their instruments to open-air stages on the pier; jazz music reverberates throughout every corner. From beginning to end, it's clear why Andernos Jazz Festival remains one of the reference points for exceptional music curation year after year.
