About this event
From December 26 to 28, 2026, Jazz sous l’Arganier is scheduled to return to Essaouira for a tenth edition organised by the Essaouira Mogador Association. The festival has built its identity around jazz as a meeting language, connecting Moroccan and international musicians, improvisation and rhythms drawn from African and wider world traditions.
Available 2026 information places Dar Souiri at the heart of the event, while the detailed artistic programme has not yet been released by the organiser. Artist names, performance times, possible jam sessions and any additional venues will therefore be added only when officially announced.
The festival belongs to a wider local musical ecosystem shaped by Essaouira’s status as a UNESCO Creative City of Music. Explore the Essaouira cultural guide, Dar Souiri and Bayt Dakira.
