Modena Open Jazz

Hello

We have purchased tickets for the Open Jazz in Italy. We will be seeing Joss Stone/Jamie Cullum.

We have no idea how this Jazz festival is like. Here in Montreal, the Jazz fest is free except the indoor shows. We just walk around and see all the free shows and purchase tickets for indoor shows.

What is it like in Modena? Can we see shows as we walk around? Do we go all day or is it only at the time scheduled for the show?

And if you have been to see a jazz concert at open jazz in Modena, did you stay in Bologna?

Thank You
Maria

Hi Maria -
According to the official "Jazz Open" + "Visit Modena" websites, this is the first year this particular festival will have occurred in Modena so no one will have had prior experience at this particular location.

They do note that there will be a free stage area (Giardino Ducale Estense) but the lineup has yet to be announced. It's as yet unclear if the Il Baluardo "club stage" will be free or involve tickets but I might guess it's ticketed. Best just to keep a finger on the website for latest updates?

I just did a google search for Modena Jazz festival 2026 and was quickly led to a site that sells tickets.
