CosmoJazz 2017

Mountain top jazz concerts & live music in the streets of Chamonix

Location: Chamonix
Imprint: By Ellie Mahoney, Updated 7 January 2022

The Cosmojazz music festival makes its return to the Chamonix valley from tomorrow, with more than 25 free music concerts spread over nine days.

The event has been running since 2010 and the 8th edition kicks off tomorrow, Saturday 22nd until 30th July.

Last year's Cosmojazz drew crowds of around 30,000 people to the various gigs, held either at different mountain top venues in the middle of the day, in the town centre around in the early evening or at the Maison des Artistes for the late night sessions.
