More than a festival.

More than a festival.
A way of life.

Montreux Jazz Festival Franschhoek is more than a concert, it is a hospitality-led multi-genre music experience set in the heart of the valley. 

Three days – more than 30 local and international acts. 

Across two distinct stages, guests can move between world-class performances, curated hospitality and vibrant village energy.

Premium by design yet relaxed in spirit, the festival invites you to immerse yourself in music, place and atmosphere as the tempo builds from day into night.
