Sinan Bubble Chill Wave Festival kicks off summer festivities in Shanghai

Welcome summer in Shanghai with the Sinan Bubble Chill Wave Festival, running from June 13 to 15. This three-day gathering invites you to slow down and soak up the season with live music, great food and a relaxed atmosphere in the heart of the city.

Set against the romantic backdrop of Sinan Mansions, this three-day event blends jazz, botanicals and artisanal charm into a sun-drenched evening experience that captures the essence of summer in Shanghai.

Inspired by the gifts of the earth, this year's festival fuses locally grown produce, Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan heritage, traditional crafts and creative mixology into a mosaic of culture and leisure.

With over 70 curated vendors, this is your chance to sip, shop, and sway your way through early summer evenings – whether you're grazing through organic farmstands, tasting regional specialties, or clinking glasses with friends under the stars.

The soul of the festival belongs to jazz. Across three nights, 15 jazz veterans and rising talents will deliver nearly 30 live sets, transforming Sinan's leafy boulevards into a mellow, musical haven. Let the warm breeze and laid-back rhythm move you – from soft swing to sultry brass, from classic grooves to modern improvisation.

Wander between themed zones like the "Wellness Garden," featuring 30+ Shanghai-based organic brands, fresh-from-the-earth vegetables, and holistic lifestyle goods. Then head into the courtyard, where eight of Shanghai's hidden-gem bars will serve over 50 custom-crafted cocktails, designed exclusively for the festival.

Adding to the charm, the "1,000 Sunrises" Children's Art Exhibition runs through June 15, inviting visitors to enjoy a whimsical glimpse of the world through young eyes.

Dates: June 13-15, 1pm-7pm
