Soulac'n Jazz
At the end of the peninsula, where the estuary meets the Atlantic, Soulac-sur-Mer’s Belle-Époque streets vibrate to the suave rhythm of Soulac’n Jazz. For three days, the blue notes will be playing in the squares and terraces, offering music lovers – and the simply curious – an exceptional swinging interlude. The jazzy atmosphere awakens the blonde stones, gets the local businesses up and dancing, and spreads the cultural and economic vibrancy of the “Fin des Terres” far beyond the dunes.
The spirit of jazz
Staying true to its original groove, Soulac’n Jazz celebrates jazz in all its forms: fiery, eclectic, and free to cross boundaries. Building on past experiences, future editions are set to expand: five distinct themes—conceived as bridges—will bring the 2027 edition to life. The idea? To throw the doors wide open to all audiences and prioritize—beyond mere virtuosity—the creativity, musicality, and harmony that give jazz its soul and vitality.
IN and OFF
The mainstay of the event, the festival features five flagship concerts – four in the intimate Salle Notre-Dame and a grand finale under the vaulted ceiling of the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Fin-des-Terres – a mix of national and international headliners, up-and-coming young musicians from the Neo-Aquitaine region and original creations celebrating over a century of jazz inventiveness, with a special spotlight on female bandleaders. Around this beating heart,the “OFF” programme will be bringing free vibes to the streets and terraces at lunchtime, offering a jazz snack for 4-12 year-olds, inviting us to the EHPAD for a moment of shared emotion, marrying nectars and notes at a Wine & Jazz conference and hosting a “What is Jazz? Musicians, volunteers and organisers combine their energies to turn these four days into a moment of celebration, discovery and humanity open to all.
