The coastal town of Sitges is preparing to welcome the Jazz Antic Sitges festival from March 23 to 29, 2026, focusing on the historical roots of traditional jazz music.

The Escorxador – Centre d'Arts Vives will serve as the festival's headquarters, hosting the main concert series. This venue is chosen for its ability to create an intimate atmosphere that mirrors the early days of the jazz scene.
A major highlight of the week will be the Saturday parade, which is set to begin at the Mercat Vell de Sitges. This traditional march brings musicians and the public together in a festive celebration through the town's historic streets.

Jazz Antic Sitges is not just a festival: it is a collective experience that highlights the musical heritage of traditional jazz.

By March 2026, the organizers aim to further establish the event as a key cultural fixture in the Garraf region, attracting jazz enthusiasts from across the country to enjoy the authentic sounds of New Orleans.
