2026 Taipei Jazz Festival

The Taipei Jazz Festival marks its 20th year from 4 September to 11 October 2026, presented by the Department of Cultural Affairs and Taipei Music Center. Three strands: Feel Jazz Night Live — 19 indoor gigs in 12 Taipei jazz rooms; Absolute Jazz Party — 12 sets in five scenic and cultural spaces; and the Jazz Right main stage at Taipei Music Center, with 11 Taiwanese and international acts over three days. A jazz market is listed for 9–11 October, 16:00–21:00, in the Music Center outdoor performance space. The official calendar pins the festival at Taipei Music Center in Nangang, with the club strand using rooms across the city. Club nights are ticketed by venue; outdoor Jazz Right and park-style sets are often free or donation-based — confirm each listing on the festival Facebook and Instagram. Kunyang MRT for the Music Center; for club nights, book the room before you book dinner.
