Welcome to the Alba Regia Jazz Festival 2027 in Székesfehérvár
Every year in early August, the beautifully restored Bartók Béla tér in the old town of Székesfehérvár turns into a stage for jazz, swing, funky and world music for three evenings. The Alba Regia Jazz Festival is small but highly regarded, and it sits just a short train ride from Budapest.
Highlights and Attractions at the Alba Regia Jazz Festival in Székesfehérvár
- Two stages right in the old town: Bartók Béla tér for the main concerts and the museum courtyard for more intimate sounds
- Admission to every concert is completely free
- A program that brings together leading Hungarian musicians and well known international guests
- Styles ranging from classic jazz and swing to ragtime, bebop, fusion and world music
- Food and drink stalls with local wines, craft beer and street food right on the festival square

Program and Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
Across three evenings, several bands perform one after another, usually from early evening into the night, both on the main square and in the quieter museum garden. For 2027 the exact dates and the full line up have not yet been published, but the festival traditionally takes place in the first week of August and will be announced in good time on the city of Székesfehérvár's website.
