Festa do Jazz Returns for Its 24th Edition at CCB and Teatro da Comuna

What happened

Lisbon's Festa do Jazz is returning for its 24th edition, running from 4 to 8 November. The programme spans five days of concerts and is shared between two venues: the Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB) and Teatro da Comuna.

Among the names confirmed for this year's line-up are BITOI, Flat Earth Society and the Mário Franco Quintet. The full programme is available from the festival's listings.

Why it matters for international residents

Lisbon's jazz calendar is one of the city's more accessible cultural entry points for newcomers: concerts are typically ticketed individually, held in central or well-connected venues, and require no membership or long-term commitment. For international residents, an event like Festa do Jazz is a low-friction way to spend an evening out in the city, and the CCB and Teatro da Comuna are both established venues with their own regular audiences.

Because the festival runs across two locations and several days, it also gives you a reason to explore different parts of the city rather than defaulting to the same neighbourhood.

What to do next

• Check the full programme for the 4–8 November run to see which nights and venues suit you.
• Look up how to get to both the CCB and Teatro da Comuna, and plan around the evening start times.
• Confirm ticketing details and availability directly with the festival or the venues, as these are not set out in the announcement.
• If you are new to the city, consider pairing a concert with an earlier dinner nearby to make the trip worthwhile.
