This festival of Italian and French jazz music takes place in ports, downtown and on boats.

Today, it is taking place in front of Santa Maria Navarrese Church during the month of August. Tickets can be purchased for each concert or'cumulative'place on site or in many stores on the island.

A large film festival is organized every year on Tavolara Island by the Argonauti di Olbia cultural association. This festival started with a small budget, but it has managed to become an increasingly important place in the Italian film panorama. Its success is fostered by the wild beauty of the island of Tavolara, which became practically a little Woodstock where hundreds of people gather the night around the big screen.

Every year, in the heart of summer, the biggest jazz festival in Sardinia takes place, an event that is becoming increasingly famous. Let yourself be carried away by the harmony and syncopated rhythm on unusual stages between the old town and the most beautiful beaches of the island: great music, big names of the national and international jazz scene in breathtaking settings such as the beaches of Cala Sapone, Cala Lunga or Maladroxia. The whole island is in effervescence during the festival, an opportunity to link tourism and culture.
