Pattaya International Jazz Festival 2026

Each year, the Pattaya International Jazz Festival turns Pattaya Beach into an open-air stage for jazz by the sea. On 6 and 7 November 2026, international artists and some of Thailand's finest musicians will perform on the beachfront for two evenings of free live music.

Organised by Pattaya City with the Chonburi Provincial Administrative Organization, the festival has grown into one of the city's most elegant music events, welcoming jazz lovers, couples, families and curious visitors alike.

Jazz by the Sea at Sunset

Concerts begin in the late afternoon, so the first notes are played as the sun goes down over the Gulf of Thailand. The programme covers a wide range of styles, from classic standards and smooth jazz to soul, funk and modern sounds, with international headliners sharing the stage with leading Thai artists.

Along the beach, food stalls, local crafts and a relaxed, festive atmosphere complete the experience.

A Free and Eco-Friendly Festival

The festival is free and open to everyone. In recent editions, it has also placed a strong focus on sustainability, with recycling, waste separation and eco-friendly materials, in harmony with Pattaya's beautiful seaside setting.

Where to Stay for the Pattaya Jazz Festival

Whether you come as a couple, with family or with a group of friends, a weekend of jazz by the sea is a moment to share. A private pool villa gives everyone their own room, a pool to relax by during the day and a calm, comfortable place to come back to after the concerts.

PATTAYA LAND offers a selection of private pool villas in Soi Pattaya Land, near Walking Street and a few minutes from Pattaya Beach, with different capacities to suit couples, families and groups of friends. For larger groups, several nearby villas may be booked together, subject to availability.
