Southend City Jam

Southend City Jam returns for its fifth year from 28–30 August 2026, transforming Southend’s city centre and seafront into a vibrant open-air gallery.

Since its launch, the festival has become one of the city’s most celebrated cultural events, attracting an international line-up of renowned street artists to create striking large-scale murals live across the city.

Over three days, visitors can watch artworks take shape, explore new creative installations, and experience Southend’s streets brought to life through colour, culture and creativity.
