JZ Spring Festival @ Around Town

Welcome to JZ Spring Festival 2025!

From April 30 to May 5, Shanghai will come alive as JZ Spring Festival returns with a week-long celebration of jazz in all its vibrant forms.
Taking place across three exciting locations, this year’s festival blends world-class talent with unforgettable experiences—both indoors and out.
Enjoy six nights of ticketed headline concerts at the West Bund Theatre; discover free open-air performances every afternoon at Gate M Dream Theatre; and end each night with exclusive after party performances (surprise appearances!) and jam sessions at the iconic JZ Club on Hengshan Lu.
Whether you're a seasoned jazz lover or just curious to explore, JZ Spring Festival offers something for everyone—from genre-defying orchestras and jazz legends to soulful newcomers and family-friendly showcases.
