Brussels Jazz Music Festival Dates for 2011, May 27-29

[weakqueen99]

The Brussels Jazz Festival is a three day music party, and despite the name, the music is not really strictly jazz. Yes, there is classic Jazz, Belgian Jazz, Modern Jazz, Latin Jazz and some old original New Orleans style, but many of the groups and performers can more readily be recognized as classic rock, folk rock, funk, blues, or just plain eclectic. Follow the schedule obtainable online or from city tourism offices and participating venues, or just wander on your own and be pulled in the direction which attracts your ear. Or follow the crowd.

Most of the stages and clubs can easily be reached on foot around the old town zone, but for more distant venues, special free Jazz Busses will provide cozy and easy transportation for music and party enthusiasts to get around. Many of the city’s hotels participate in the festival. Many bars and restaurants have outdoor seating within view of the main square stages or within earshot of many of the smaller venues. The best hotels to stay in are the city old town close to the pedestrain central zone, but public transportation is quite easy from outside the vieux ville.
