Funchal Jazz Festival 2026: Line-up, Tickets & Tips
One of Madeira's most respected cultural events, the Funchal Jazz Festival brings serious international names to an open-air stage above the bay. The 2026 main-stage line-up includes Joel Ross, Immanuel Wilkins, Joe Lovano, Ledisi and Jason Moran with the Funchal Jazz Orchestra, across three nights at Parque de Santa Catarina.
Before the main nights, the festival spills into the Municipal Gardens with free fringe concerts (6–8 July), a relaxed way to dip in. The paid concerts are the headline act, set against a sunset-and-harbour backdrop that's hard to beat.
Good to know: Main stage €15 per day / €40 for all three days; tickets via FNAC (Madeira Shopping), MEO and at the park from 17:00 on event days. Fringe concerts free. Music from around 21:30.
