The most anticipated musical event of the year is officially back. From August 20 to 23, Nice welcomes a new edition of the Nice Jazz Fest, the oldest jazz festival in the world, as it first started in 1948 on the hill of Cimiez. The program includes four nights of festivities in the heart of the azur city, between Place Masséna and Theatre de Verdure, alongside talented artists ready to make you groove!

At the end of the concerts, starting at 12:30 am, the village will offer after-parties where acoustic music sessions will enhance the intimate and warm atmosphere of the place.
