Dance

Fest Jazz is not a dance festival but it’s a festival of jazz with dance at its heart! 

Members of official dance clubs in the UK and Europe are eligible for a discount on tickets. Simply ask your club to send a partnership application to the festival at contact@fest-jazz.com. 

Hundreds of dancers come to swing to the rhythm of the catchy melodies of our artists. And to dance in the best possible conditions, there are dance floors in front of the two main stages of the festival! 

Indeed, the Fest Jazz offers you the opportunity to participate in Lindy Hop introduction workshops during the festival, led by two professional dancers: Peter and Chloé, dance teachers for the Swing du Tonnerre association.

From 12:30 to 1:30 pm, come and introduce yourself to different styles!

Classic cars 

In recent years Fest Jazz has become a focal point for a superb rally of Classic cars from the UK and France. A display of these wonderful vehicles takes place at the entrance to the festival on Saturday and Sunday. For more details visit our Classic Car Page
