The festival also continues to support emerging artists, welcoming JEMMA (winners of Jazz in the Park Competition 2025) and MINDTHEGAP Trio (Best Romanian Act). The artist residency program returns in 2026 with Nik Bärtsch, who will present three different concerts during the festival, alongside talks and a masterclass. Jazz in the Park remains a daytime festival, encouraging people to enjoy music and free time during the day, with concerts running until midnight, new stage concepts, and a relaxed, community-driven atmosphere.
Festival passes are currently available for approximately €60. Prices increase on February 10, and over 60% of passes have already been sold.
