Andernos Jazz Festival

Andernos Jazz, half a century of free jazz

The Andernos Jazz Festival is a jazz institution in the Southwest of France. Created in 1973, it is one of the oldest jazz festivals in the region. Every July, it transforms the emblematic locations of Andernos-les-Bains into open-air jazz stages.

Free concerts in emblematic locations

The festival offers about fifteen entirely free concerts spread across four locations in Andernos: the Jetée, the Jardin Louis David, the Place du 14 Juillet, and the Plage du Bétey. These locations offer a unique setting between the sea and pine trees.

Varied and accessible jazz

The program covers a wide spectrum of jazz: swing, bebop, gypsy jazz, fusion, vocal jazz, and contemporary jazz. The festival favors an accessible and festive approach, open to both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts.

A unique summer atmosphere

The festival's atmosphere is inseparable from the seaside setting of the Arcachon Bay. Sunset concerts on the jetty or by the Bétey beach are unforgettable moments.
