The story

Jazzablanca Festival in Casablanca

Jazzablanca has anchored Casablanca's summer since 2006, turning Anfa Park into a three-stage music hub each July despite its name spanning far beyond jazz. The 2026 edition runs July 2-11 with roughly 50 concerts, food stalls, and late-night jam sessions, headlined by acts ranging from Marcus Miller and Ben Harper to Robbie Williams and Scorpions, alongside jazz specialists like Hiromi and Jose James.

Casablanca is not the city most people associate with jazz, but since 2006 Jazzablanca has made a deliberate case that it should be.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Jazzablanca's trick is refusing to be a purist jazz festival while keeping the genre's improvisational spirit at its core

02

The mystery stays covered

The lineup deliberately crosses jazz with soul, pop, rock, and hip-hop, so a single evening might move from a Hiromi piano set to a Robbie Williams arena-pop show without feeling like two different festivals stitched together

03

The city starts moving

Anfa Park becomes a genuine cultural district for the ten-day run, not just a concert venue, with food stalls and informal late-night jam sessions extending the music well past the scheduled sets

04

The water draws everyone in

A parallel OFF program of workshops, children's musical initiation sessions, and masterclasses gives the festival a community dimension beyond ticketed shows, making it as much a citywide gathering as a touring concert series
