The Florence Jazz Festival returns from September 2nd to 14th
Over 100 artists involved, 16 days of programming, 9 venues, and more than 30 scheduled events: from September 2 to 14, 2025, the Florence Jazz Festival returns for its ninth edition, marking a new milestone in its growth.
Supported by an ever-expanding network of partners, the Festival aims to establish itself as one of the year’s most anticipated events in Florence—and beyond.
This edition heralds the return to the Cascine Amphitheater, the symbolic space that has already hosted unforgettable moments in past years. A fully immersive Festival, where music meets the pleasure of conviviality thanks to a carefully curated food & beverage offering. True to its polycentric spirit, the FJF will alternate its classic stages in the early days before opening up, at the heart of the program, to paths of artistic cross-pollination, experimentation, and encounter. A living venue where the audience can mingle, discover, and be surprised.
As every year, the Festival features a guest graphic artist who defines its visual concept. This year’s choice is PixelPancho, one of Italy’s most acclaimed street artists on the international scene.
