What not to miss at Jazz in the Park 2026

Jazz in the Park is the place where you come for a concert and leave after a whole weekend of music, discoveries, and moments you never planned. Between live shows that stop you in your tracks, jam sessions, vinyl records, random encounters around the park, and corners where time seems to slow down, there are a few things you really don’t want to miss this year.

We kick things off on Friday at 2:00 PM, and if you’re among the first 200 participants to arrive, you’ll also get a glass of wine on us — one more reason to start the weekend a little earlier.

And here it is: we’ve also prepared a list of recommended activities for when you’re not at a concert.
