The Lotto Brussels Jazz Weekend, the free city festival that attracts some 300,000 music lovers to Belgium’s capital every year, will take place again this year for the sixth time with FREE open-air concerts.
During the last weekend of May, Brussels will once again be dominated by jazz when five iconic squares will host a varied outdoor programme. In parallel, no fewer than 50 indoor concerts will take place and brass bands from all over Europe will parade through the city centre. And all of this for free!

All bike tours are free but you need to reserve your place quickly as there are only a limited number of spaces available.
