This is an event not to be missed! From 21 to 27 June 2021, the Hauts-de-Seine Department is organising the 44th La Défense Jazz Festival at the foot of the Grande Arche, entirely free and in the open air. You are going to enjoy your lunchtimes and evenings at Paris La Défense....
After several months without concerts and to celebrate the arrival of summer, La Défense Jazz Festival is back with emerging and established artists from various musical backgrounds. From 21 to 27 June, at lunchtime and in the evening, at afterwork time, the event offers jazz lovers the chance to discover or rediscover Melody Gardot, Asaf Avidan, Rouge, Nubyian Twist, or André Manoukian's creation "Hauts-les-Chœurs". The concerts are all free, open air and organised with respect for barrier-free practices. A health protocol is in place (access control, wearing of masks, gel provided, physical distancing, etc.). On weekends, the concerts are also free, but reservations are required. Be prepared! The ticket office opens at the beginning of June.
