Macadam Jazz
Open-air jazz festival in the streets and squares of Périgueux
About Macadam Jazz
More than 30 years of jazz in Périgueux
Created in the early 1990s, Macadam Jazz has become an unmissable event of the Périgord summer. For over three decades, the festival has filled the most beautiful squares and gardens of Périgueux with jazz, offering residents and visitors open-air musical evenings in an exceptional heritage setting.
A new format since 2022
Since 2022, the organization of the festival has been entrusted to the association Le Sans Réserve, in close collaboration with the City of Périgueux. In 2025, Macadam Jazz is reinventing itself with a format condensed into three days, centered around the Visitation cultural center, while still offering free concerts scattered throughout the city.
An "in and off" model
The festival is inspired by an "in and off" model: paid programming in the heart of the Visitation and free concerts spread across the squares and gardens of Périgueux. A festival village set up in the courtyard of the Visitation offers a bar, food, and DJ sets, creating a friendly atmosphere throughout the weekend.
