Jazz en Vivarais

Jazz in the heart of the Vivarais

Since 2009, the Jazz en Vivarais festival has brought life to the village of Vernoux-en-Vivarais, nestled at an altitude of 600 meters in the heart of the Ardèche. Organized by the association of the same name, this summer event features two evenings of open-air concerts in a friendly, laid-back atmosphere every August.

An eclectic jazz lineup

The 18th edition brings together four bands with unique styles, led by a new generation of talented artists already making their mark on the finest jazz and contemporary music stages.

From the sunny, danceable energy of Moustik Haterz to the powerful, soulful voice of Mélina Tobiana, via the explosive afro-jazz rhythms of Akoni Astrobeat and the authentic blues-americana of Jim Roberts, each concert promises a unique experience.

An eclectic program, rising stars, influences from around the globe, and the warm atmosphere that has defined Jazz en Vivarais since its inception.

Two nights to discover, feel, dance, be moved, and share great moments of live music together.

An accessible and friendly festival

Jazz en Vivarais stands out for its accessible pricing policy: €15 per evening for adults, €10 for those aged 13-25, and free for children under 13. A two-evening pass is available for €25 (€20 for those aged 13-25). A bar and on-site catering round out the experience in a spirit of celebration and sharing.

A loyal and warm tradition

Driven by passionate volunteers, Jazz en Vivarais has successfully built a loyal following over the years among jazz lovers and the curious alike. The festival's intimate, warm ambiance, the quality of the guest artists, and the natural setting of the Vivarais make it an unmissable event in the Ardèche.
