SAN SEBASTIAN JAZZ FESTIVAL

5 days, 12 stages, 77 concerts… That’s right – the 61st San Sebastian Jazz Festival is here! Every summer, San Sebastian comes alive with the rhythm of one of Europe’s most prestigious music festivals. From 22 to 26 July, the city becomes the world’s jazz capital.

As Spain’s oldest jazz festival and one of the longest-running in Europe, its magic grows year after year. Renowned artists and rising stars alike take to the stage, creating a programme that combines open-air concerts, performances in iconic venues, and a truly unique atmosphere.

Among this year’s headline artists are Diana Krall, Pat Metheny, Samara Joy, Marcus Miller and LP. The festival is also the perfect opportunity to celebrate local talent, with 30 Basque artists featured in the programme. Performances will take place at some of the city’s most iconic venues, including the Victoria Eugenia Theatre (just a 3-minute walk from Hotel Parma), the Keler Gunea stage on Zurriola Beach (5 minutes on foot from Hotel Parma), and Plaza de la Trinidad (also a 5-minute walk). Whether you’re a devoted jazz lover or simply looking for a unique cultural experience, this festival is an event not to be missed.

At Hotel Parma, we know there’s nothing better than a summer festival, and we can’t wait for ours to begin. Grab your tickets… or enjoy the free concerts! We look forward to welcoming you.
