The Tabarka Festival, originally known as the Tabarka Jazz Festival, is one of the most important musical events in the Maghreb. Located in the seaside town of Tabarka in north-western Tunisia, it offers a unique blend of jazz, world music and contemporary sounds.

Tabarka, nicknamed the "Coral Coast", hosts the festival in an exceptional natural setting between cork oak forests and Mediterranean beaches. The Genoese fort in the background adds a historic touch to every concert.

Over the years, the festival has expanded beyond jazz to include raï, world music and electronic music, attracting a diverse audience from across Tunisia and Europe.
