The fourth edition of the free mountain jazz festival, named Jazz na Serra, returns to the Serra da Mantiqueira range. This year's edition, scheduled for Friday 28 and Saturday 29 August 2026, features more than 10 hours of concerts on Saturday alone. Set in the small mountain town of Santo Antônio do Pinhal, the festival transforms the town centre into an open-air stage for performances in two public spaces: Praça do Artesão and the Araucária Boulevard.
Brazilian journalist G1 Vale do Paraíba confirmed the dates of the festival's fourth edition on August 22, 2026. The festival excludes a Sunday program, despite the last Sunday of August being the 30th. Visitors should plan for a two-day festival, not a three-day one. All concerts take place in public squares and avenues, with no tickets or reservations required. Entry to every performance is free, encouraging attendees to arrive early to secure a good spot.
The festival's artistic curation is led by Joabe Reis, an award-winning trombonist who selects Brazilian instrumental acts. Producer Pedro Pimenta oversees the event's creation. To reach the festival by car, take the Rodovia Ayrton Senna and Rodovia Carvalho Pinto towards Campos do Jordão, then follow the turn-off to Santo Antônio do Pinhal.
Alternatively, take a bus from São Paulo's Terminal Rodoviário Tietê to Campos do Jordão, then transfer to the town. For the most up-to-date information, check the festival's official Instagram account.
