A market dedicated to music
Every year at the end of September, the Puces Musicales de Jazz en Velay are held around the bandstand in the Jardin Henri Vinay, in Le Puy-en-Velay. The Jazz en Velay association, founded in 2011, organizes the event as part of its Automne Jazz en Velay festival.
What you will find
Around the bandstand, both private and professional exhibitors sell vinyl records, CDs, vintage and contemporary sheet music, second-hand instruments, sound systems, hi-fi equipment, accessories, and collectibles. Only music-related items are permitted; food vendors are not allowed. It is the perfect place to complete your collection or find a pre-owned instrument.
The Folle journée du jazz
The market is linked to La Folle journée du jazz, a free event that wraps up the Automne Jazz en Velay festival. Open-air concerts take place on the garden stage, featuring jazz bands, brass ensembles, and local or regional artists. Depending on the year, the program may also include blind tests, jazz readings, musical naps, screen-printing workshops, a photo booth, jazz-themed memory games, and activities for children.
The Association
Jazz en Velay has over 50 members and a dedicated team of volunteers. They created the Automne Jazz en Velay festival in 2012, and the Puces Musicales have been part of the program ever since. To exhibit, booking is mandatory via email at [email protected].
