Jazz takes over Pré-Leroy
Since its creation in 2021, the Niort Jazz Festival has established itself in just a few editions as a major jazz event in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Located in the magnificent Parc du Pré-Leroy, in the center of Niort, the festival benefits from an exceptional natural setting between historical heritage and lush greenery, on the banks of the Sèvre niortaise.
Two stages, two atmospheres
The festival is organized around two complementary stages. The main paid stage, located on the esplanade near the swimming pool, hosts international headliners for evening concerts. The free stage, nestled by the Sèvre river, showcases the new generation of jazz, blues, and soul talents. This setup allows for a combination of artistic excellence and accessibility.
An eclectic and prestigious program
In just a few editions, the Niort Jazz Festival has hosted world-renowned artists: Rhoda Scott, Thomas Dutronc, the Belmondo Quintet, Sandra Nkaké, Angélique Kidjo, Morcheeba, and Selah Sue. The program embraces all facets of jazz, blues, and soul, from living legends to contemporary revelations.
A festival on the rise
Supported by the City of Niort and Niort Agglo, the festival continues to grow. Each edition offers around 15 concerts over three themed evenings, including 9 free ones, in a friendly and festive atmosphere that attracts an ever-wider audience.
