The story

Jazz a Carthage in Carthage/Tunis

Jazz a Carthage is a Tunisian jazz festival founded in 2005 by the private Scoop Organisation, spreading concerts across Tunis's northern suburbs, including La Marsa and Gammarth, as an independent alternative to state-run cultural programming. It filled the gap left by the fading Tabarka Jazz Festival that decade.

Jazz a Carthage occupies a distinctive place in Tunisia's festival landscape as one of the country's rare privately organized cultural projects, founded in 2005 by Scoop Organisation at a time when Tunisia's most prominent festivals, from the Carthage amphitheatre concerts to the symphonic programming at El Jem, were run through the Ministry of Culture and state cultural institutions.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As one of the rare privately organized cultural projects in Tunisia's festival landscape, which is otherwise dominated by ministry-run events at historic sites like Carthage's amphitheatre and El Jem's colosseum, Jazz a Carthage carved out a distinct identity from its 2005 founding by Scoop Organisation, deliberately positioning itself as independent, demanding, and open rather than a straightforward tourist draw

02

The mystery stays covered

It effectively filled the cultural gap left when the pioneering Tabarka Jazz Festival faded around the turn of the millennium, moving jazz programming away from a single coastal town and spreading concerts across Tunis's northern suburban belt, including La Marsa and Gammarth, rather than concentrating everything in one historic venue
