Some of these performances are free, but you will need to pay a fee in order to enjoy the rest. One of the most popular stages and one that has great tradition is the stage at Trinidad Square in the <a title=\"Old Town\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sansebastian.travel\/en\/san-sebastian-old-town\/\">Old Town<\/a>: it has been the main stage of the festival since it was created. Aside from the Trinidad Square, artists also perform at <a title=\"Peine del viento\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sansebastian.travel\/en\/peine-del-viento\/\">Peine del Viento<\/a>, <a title=\"Kursaal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sansebastian.travel\/en\/the-kursaal\/\">the Kursaal<\/a>, the Victoria Eugenia, the Boulevard&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Each year since 1994, an artist or jazz figure is awarded the <strong>Donostiako Jazzaldia<\/strong>, a prize in recognition of their career and their contribution to the enrichment of this musical style.<\/p>\n<p>Another famous stage with great tradition among the festival audience is the green stage located in the heart of <a title=\"Zurrila beach\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sansebastian.travel\/en\/zurriola-beach\/\">Zurriola beach<\/a>. Hundreds of people gather together around this huge stage that is assembled on the sand in order to attend free concerts. This is the most popular part of the festival and one to which anyone can access, so it is no wonder it has become one of the most typical and advisable summer things to do in San Sebastian during the jazz festival. Get some sandwiches and beer cans and enjoy the festival while chilling on the beach sand.<\/p>\n<p>If you are planning to go to the festival, I advise you to book your San Sebastian hotel well in advance, as hotel rooms are in considerable high demand on those dates.<\/p>\n<p>Info: <a href=\"http:\/\/heinekenjazzaldia.eus\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.heinekenjazzaldia.com\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Sebastian Jazz Festival is one of the most renowned events of its kind in Spain and Europe.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":546,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-544","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-events-and-festivals","8":"cs-entry","9":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>San Sebastian Jazz Festival - Heineken Jazzaldia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"San Sebastian Jazz Festival is one of the most renowned events of its kind in Spain and Europe.
