Around the festival
Welcome to those eager for discovery!
During the Jazz Festival, the Tourist and Convention Office and Jazz à Juan invite you to enjoy yourself… feast your eyes by visiting the artists’ exhibitions, delight your ears by coming to discover the bands on stage at the Jammin’ Summer Session, or round off your evening at the Jazz Club.
New for 2026: The JSS is taking to the Plateau de la Garoupe for two eco-friendly concerts on 10 and 12 July at 9pm
Jammin’Summer session
La Petite Pinède, in Juan-les-Pins, from 9 to 20 July, 7.15pm to 8.15pm
Le Plateau de la Garoupe, 10 and 12 July at 9pm

An invitation to discover young jazz talents!
Every evening, from 7.15 pm to 8.15 pm, the Jammin’Summer Session invites you to discover an up-and-coming jazz project or an established act still unknown to the general public, at the Petite Pinède in Juan-les-Pins.
A first this year… the JSS is organising two eco-friendly concerts at the Plateau de la Garoupe, a magical spot with exceptional views. 10 and 12 July at 9.00 pm.
These young artists represent all the different styles of the contemporary jazz scene. Most of them were discovered at Jammin’Juan, the jazz industry trade fair (next edition on 29 and 30 October 2026).
Access to the Petite Pinède, the Plateau de la Garoupe and the media library is free and open to all.
Although the sound is better when you’re right in front of the stage, it can be pleasant to sit in the shade of the pine trees or on one of the terraces bordering the stage.
Petite Pinède: corner of Boulevard Baudoin and Rue Jacques Leonetti
Plateau de la Garoupe: Route du Phare to Cap d’Antibes (small car park on site or spaces available on Avenue Aimé Bourreau, then take the steps opposite Avenue Guide / or in a street near Chemin du Calvaire).
