Just fifteen minutes from Paris, a massive open-air concert venue is taking shape. In early July, Enghien-les-Bains will once again embrace this unique atmosphere with the 25th edition of its Jazz Festival, one of the major musical events of the summer in the Île-de-France region.
Enghien Jazz Festival: The 25th Edition by the Water
From Thursday, July 2, to Sunday, July 5, 2026, the festival will bring together French and international artists for a lineup that’s much broader than its name suggests. Jazz, soul, pop, funk, electronic, and world music: Enghien has long been known for blending genres, with indoor concerts, free outdoor events, and evenings by the water.
The first evening will kick off at the Théâtre du Casino with Thomas Dutronc, who will bring his unique blend of chanson, swing, and gypsy jazz to life. Starting Friday, a series of free concerts will take place at the Jardin des Roses. Aron!, Gabi Hartmann, and then Angelo Debarre accompanied by Anne Sila will set the tone for the day, before a more blues-oriented evening at the Théâtre du Casino with Greg Zlap.
On Saturday, Muq, Molly Johnson, and Angélique Kidjo will take the stage one after another throughout the day at the Jardin des Roses, before the lakefront stage welcomes Typh Barrow followed by Boy George. Seeing the former frontman of Culture Club perform by the water is already shaping up to be one of the weekend’s standout moments! On the final day, Mica Millar and Avishai Cohen will perform at the Jardin des Roses before an evening designed to bring a wide audience together, featuring Morcheeba followed by Kungs.
What’s more, the 2026 edition comes with a selling point that’s hard to ignore: a large part of the lineup is free.
As July approaches, the Enghien Jazz Festival checks all the boxes for a great summer outing: close to Paris, partly free, set in a unique setting, and headlined by several big names sure to draw a crowd.
