Cully Jazz Festival

In 1983, two young jazz lovers organized a two-day festival which had a good success. It became a famous yearly meeting for all jazz lovers and, more than a quarter of a century later, it has grown to a nine-day jazz festival taking place every year in April, with international stars as well as local and national talents.

As its older brother the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Cully Jazz Festival features paying concerts and tons of free concerts. All the free concerts take place in winegrowers vaults and small cafés and this yearly jazz frenzy is definitely a must-see!
