Breda Jazz Festival

Since 1971 the Breda Jazz Festival has grown into a magnificent four-day musical event
appealing to a wide audience. The kick-off is on Ascension Day, at 13.00 on the Grote

Almost 20 stages

In the beginning, the ‘Turfschip’ (a former eventhall located at the Chasséveld) was the main center of of our festival. The outdoors concerts were mainly located on the Havermarkt and the Grote Markt. Nowadays, our festival counts almost 20 stages located throughout the city, each with its own characteristics and jazz style.

These outdoors concerts are free of charge and accessible for everyone. For some of our indoors concerts tickets are available. Every year at Easter Monday, the official ticket sale starts during the “Jazzin’ Around” event in the Ginneken-area in Breda.

What’s more, the menu showcases creative dishes, incorporating edible flowers, fresh herbs and seasonally grown produce, where possible organic and locally sourced. Furthermore, Eat Well Do Good have a separate children’s area and plenty of room outside for them to play safely. So, you can enjoy a relaxed, casual and stress-free dining experience.
