Holidays

Since 2018, Jazz Montez Holidays has been an established, free open-air festival on the banks of the Main River in Frankfurt and a central hub of the cultural summer. From July 3 to August 23, it offers daily live concerts by international and local artists, as well as DJ sets, jam sessions, and club nights in a relaxed atmosphere, every Friday through Sunday.

With up to 2,000 visitors daily and a total of up to 50,000 guests, the festival caters to a diverse, urban audience. It creates an inclusive, accessible space for cultural exchange, connection, and participation. The program includes several concerts per evening, open jam sessions, support for emerging talent through the Jazz Montez Academy, as well as workshops and dance events. The venue is the terrace of the Kunstverein Familie Montez in Hafenpark. With over 200 participating artists, outdoor dining, and bars, the festival offers accessible entry to top-notch music and represents the vibrant, diverse cultural scene of the Rhine-Main region.

Since 2016, the non-profit organization Jazz Montez, based in Frankfurt am Main, has been developing innovative concert formats, festivals, and cultural projects in the field of jazz and related musical genres. Its goal is to attract a young and diverse audience and to connect local and international artists. In addition, Jazz Montez supports young musicians, produces music, and serves as an open platform for cross-genre projects and cultural exchange.
