Jerusalem International Jazz Festival Returns June 9–11
Jazz combines with a world-class backdrop
JERUSALEM, Israel / ATLANTA, Georgia -- In just days the Jerusalem International Jazz Festival will return for its 12th year from June 9–11, 2026, at the Israel Museum. Considered one of the most prominent jazz festivals in Israel, the event presents a wide-ranging artistic experience highlighting jazz in its many forms, from traditional to experimental, with a focus on improvisation, creative expression and musical exploration.
Five stages will be spread across the grounds, ranging from large-scale venues to more intimate performance spaces. Events take place throughout the Billy Rose Sculpture Garden, an outdoor landscape of hills, pathways and sculptures.
“The Jerusalem International Jazz Festival is a powerful example of how music brings people together across cultures,” said Lorin Maugery, Consul-Director for the Southern United States. “Events like this highlight Jerusalem not only as a historic destination, but as a vibrant cultural hub.”
This year’s festival draws inspiration from the tension between balance and imbalance, evoking the image of a mobile in constant motion. Programming reflects this theme through a mix of structured and spontaneous performances designed to engage audiences intellectually and emotionally.
In addition to live performances, the festival offers dedicated areas for art, movement, relaxation and culinary experiences.
The program spans a diverse range of styles, including classical and psychedelic jazz, with original productions, premieres and collaborations between local and international artists emphasizing first-time musical encounters.
The festival opens June 9 with a special opening night centered on the Love Stage, featuring three original productions presented consecutively. On June 10 and June 11, it expands into a multi-stage experience, offering more than 20 performances each evening across a five-hour program.
Organizers encourage audiences to explore the full festival grounds and engage with the evolving performances and installations throughout the space.
The Jerusalem International Jazz Festival runs June 9–11, 2026.
