Da Lat Jazz Festival 2026: Music and a Visit to ZooDoo

Da Lat has another reason to make a November escape feel special. Vietnam Jazz Heritage Festival 2026 is scheduled for 6–8 November, bringing three days of music to the highland city. If you are planning a weekend away, try a relaxed combination: spend part of the day outdoors, then return to town for an evening of live music.

Three days of Jazz in Da Lat

The opening concert is planned for 5 pm on 6 November at Lam Vien Square, with free admission. The announced line-up includes Lisa Ono, Nik West, Raul Midón and Vietnamese performers. Further programmes are planned for the Hoa Binh area and HAUS Da Lat. Check each programme's venue, start time and admission arrangements before setting out; conditions can differ between the public concerts and invitation-only events.

Make time for ZooDoo during the day

A visit to ZooDoo adds a different pace to your music weekend. Watch a capybara beside the water, look out for alpacas and listen to the Zookeepers introduce the animals in their care. These small moments give families something to talk about long after the trip. Browse the animal directory beforehand, choose a suitable tour slot and leave enough time for the journey back to central Da Lat.

Keep your day comfortable

Pack a jacket, comfortable shoes and a charged phone. If children are coming along, allow time for meals and a proper rest between the zoo visit and the concert. Avoid filling every hour: a little flexibility helps everyone enjoy the day. Check the latest festival announcements before travelling and confirm your ZooDoo booking separately. A morning meeting animal residents and an evening listening to Jazz make a lovely pair of memories to take home.
