The jazz and swing festival of the Roaring Twenties in the heart of Sarlat
Sarlat Swing It is a jazz and swing festival held on the first weekend of June in the medieval center of Sarlat-la-Canéda. The event transports the city back to the atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties with jazz concerts from the 1920s to 1950s, parades, Charleston, Lindy Hop, and Balboa dance demonstrations, vintage clothing stalls, period hairstyles, and vintage cars.
Every first weekend of June, Sarlat Swing It transforms the heart of the medieval city into an open-air stage to celebrate swing and the good mood of jazz in the pure tradition of American bands from the 1920s to 1950s. Professionals, enthusiasts, and amateurs gather to experience the exceptional atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties.
The program combines jazz concerts, parades, and dance scenes in the streets and squares of Sarlat. Demonstrations of Charleston, Lindy Hop, and Balboa invite the public to hit the dance floor. In parallel, stalls selling vintage clothing, makeup, period hairstyles, and a barbershop recreate the event's retro atmosphere.
Vintage cars displayed in the streets complete this journey through time, offering a striking backdrop amidst the golden facades of the medieval city of Sarlat-la-Canéda.
Sarlat Swing It 2026 is expected on the first weekend of June 2026 in the historic center of Sarlat, with its program of jazz concerts, swing dancing, and vintage atmosphere.
