“Jazz has always been about bringing people together,
breaking barriers, and inspiring creativity
across cultures. International Jazz Day
reminds us that music has the power
to transcend borders, foster
dialogue, and spark joy and hope.”

On 30 April, teachers and students around the
world use International Jazz Day as an
opportunity to learn more about the empowering history and legacy of jazz music. Check out
our this year’s free online education programmes and the growing library

Chicago, a major hub for jazz music and the birthplace of many great musicians of this vibrant musical tradition, is the Global Host City for International Jazz Day 2026. Directed by jazz legend and Chicago native Herbie Hancock, the fifteenth edition of the event features a distinguished lineup of renowned jazz artists.
The concert is streamed live to millions of viewers around the world through UNTV, UNESCO, jazzday.com, Facebook, YouTube and other international media partners.
In addition to the Global Concert, UNESCO encourages schools, universities, and non-governmental organizations around the world to celebrate International Jazz Day. Performing arts venues, community centers, town squares, parks, libraries, museums, restaurants, clubs, and festivals organize thousands of activities, while public radio and television feature jazz on and around International Jazz Day.
