Jazz on the beach on 6 and 7 November

The Pattaya International Jazz Festival 2026 runs for two days on the stage at Pattaya Beach. Its motto is “Eco Jazz”, and it starts at 4 pm on both days. Admission is free. The organizers are the City of Pattaya and the Chonburi provincial administration.

On 6 November, the acts include The Shang Sisters, TOSH, Ben Chalatit, the Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band and Groovy Doopy with Rachael and Adam. On 7 November, saxophonist Kenny G performs, along with Amp Saowaluck, WIM, the Rattanakosin Breakin Crew and the 808 Band. Kenny G was already a guest at the festival in 2023. The Pattaya Contact Center answers questions on 1337.

Fireworks festival on 27 and 28 November

At the end of the month, the International Fireworks Festival follows on the same beach. It runs on 27 and 28 November, each day from 5 pm to midnight, and the first fireworks start at 8 pm. International teams run their shows to music over the bay, and there are also concerts and stalls with food and drinks. Watching from the public beach is free. Seats on rooftop terraces and in restaurants are sold separately and cost extra.

Beach Road is closed to traffic on both evenings from 3 pm. Come early and preferably on foot, because the roads to Pattaya are very crowded on evenings like these. The city only announces the participating teams and the exact program shortly beforehand, and changes are possible.
