This year marks the 20th anniversary of one of Greater Lisbon’s most iconic jazz festivals , Out Jazz, which this edition features some new additions and many surprises, with the outdoor concerts remaining completely free.
The festival kicked off on May 3 at Parque dos Poetas, an area where many took the opportunity to enjoy nature, listen to good music, and, of course, unwind.
Over the coming weekends, there will be more moments like this, and that’s what we’ll tell you about next.
What’s new in the 2026 edition

The celebrations marking two decades of Out Jazz bring some new features that will change the dynamics of this unique music festival.
For 20 years , we’ve been used to enjoying the various concerts while sitting or lying on the grass, but this year, the organizers decided to expand the entire experience:
- Fridays with music
- Out Market
