The Maisons-Laffitte Jazz Festival is back on the road, and it isn’t planning to go quiet. From Friday 19 to Sunday 28 June 2026, jazz will be in the open air in the park of the château de Maisons, for ten days of concerts, groove and well-timed musical escapes. A date that has become a staple in the Yvelines (78), between big live nights and a summer break to enjoy outdoors.
This 22nd edition has Maisons-Laffitte beating to the rhythm of double bass, brass and improvisation. In the park, people come to listen, stroll, toast and let themselves be swept up by the tempo of the moment. Good news for apéro-swing fans: free concerts are offered every day in the château’s park, with a bar and on-site catering, in a festive and family-friendly atmosphere.
The 2026 program kicks off with a noticeable step up in quality. Expected names include Avishai Cohen Trio, Biréli Lagrène – Elegant People, Alfredo Rodriguez Trio, Vincent Peirani & Boyan Z for a Michel Portal tribute, China Moses, Loco Cello feat. Émile Parisien, Shai Maestro The Guest House, and Umlaut Big Band. The lineup guides audiences from swing to contemporary jazz, with Latin inflections and sweeping collective explorations, paired with just enough virtuosity to make you want to clap along.
The festival will also kick off its celebrations with a free Fête de la Musique, on Sunday, June 21, 2026 from 2:00 PM, in the château park, featuring brass bands, samba, and open-air concerts. The Jazz Club also moves into the park with Ellen Birath feat. Katia Schiavone, on Tuesday, June 23 at 8:00 PM, offering a mix of contemporary swing and heartfelt interpretations.
In total, more than fifteen artists are on the lineup for the Maisons-Laffitte Jazz Festival 2026, ready to make jazz resonate in all its forms. A tip: clear your schedules and be sure to book your tickets now.
So, are you ready to celebrate jazz at this year's Maisons-Laffitte Jazz Festival?
