World-class jazz in the Gardens of the Reggia di Venaria
Jazzarìa is the summer festival that transforms the Gardens of the Reggia di Venaria into an open-air stage for world-class jazz. Promoted by La Venaria Reale in collaboration with Blue Note Milano, the event takes place in the town of Venaria Reale, in the Metropolitan City of Turin, in the heart of Piedmont. It features evening concerts in the spectacular Gran Parterre, the monumental green space unfolding before the UNESCO-listed Savoy residence.
The uniqueness of Jazzarìa lies in the bond between performance and place: the concert ticket is not just for the live show, but also includes evening access to the Reggia's Piano Nobile, the Gardens, and current exhibitions. Guests can stroll through Filippo Juvarra's architecture, admire the fountains and parterres at the most evocative time of day, and then settle in under the stars to listen to the stars of the global jazz and soul scene.
In just a few editions, Jazzarìa has built a prestigious lineup, hosting artists such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Italian trumpeter Fabrizio Bosso, and Ray Gelato & The Giants. The artistic direction by Blue Note Milano guarantees top-tier programming, attracting enthusiasts from all over Piedmont and beyond.
Concerts begin late in the evening, as the gardens are bathed in the colors of sunset. Early access allows visitors to experience the Reggia at a leisurely pace: a tour of the historic halls, a walk through the flowerbeds, and a stop at the café overlooking the greenery precede the musical performance. In case of bad weather, concerts are moved to the Teatro della Concordia in Venaria Reale to ensure the event proceeds.
Jazzarìa has become a highly anticipated event in the Piedmontese summer: an elegant and evocative way to experience live music immersed in one of the masterpieces of Savoy Baroque.
L'edizione 2026 di Jazzarìa, la terza della rassegna, ha per protagonista Gregory Porter, una delle voci jazz e soul più amate al mondo e due volte vincitore del Grammy Award. L'appuntamento è per domenica 26 luglio 2026 nel Gran Parterre dei Giardini della Reggia di Venaria.
Porter è accompagnato sul palco dalla sua band: Chip Crawford al pianoforte, Ondrej Pivec all'organo Hammond, Emanuel Harrold alla batteria, Tivon Pennicott ai fiati e Jahmal Nichols al basso. Il concerto è realizzato in collaborazione con Blue Note Milano, nell'ambito del format Blue Note Off.
In caso di maltempo il concerto si terrà al Teatro della Concordia di Venaria Reale.

The Reggia di Venaria is located in Venaria Reale (TO), about 10 km from Turin. By car, it can be reached via the Turin ring road (Venaria exits); there are large parking lots nearby. By train, take a train to Turin and then use the GTT buses direct to Venaria, or the Venaria Express line, which runs during major events.
Concert tickets can be purchased online at the official website lavenaria.it. The concert ticket includes access to the Piano Nobile, the Gardens, and current exhibitions starting from 6:30 PM until the show begins.
We recommend arriving early to visit the Reggia and the Gardens before the concert. In case of bad weather, the event will be held at the Teatro della Concordia in Venaria Reale.
