During the Utrecht Jazz Festival, you can enjoy live music, delicious food and good company in what is perhaps Utrecht’s most beautiful square: Janskerkhof. And the best part? Entry is completely free!
Let yourself be swept away by surprising performances from acts including the Red Hot One Hundred Big Band, the Utrecht Student Big Band, Djorba’s Zango, Kitchen Collective, De Nachtelijke Escapades and De Boulevard. Various vinyl DJs will be spinning records, and between sets you’ll also have the chance to discover the jazz talent of tomorrow: students from the HKU Conservatoire will be providing swinging interludes on the HKU Utrechts Conservatorium Talent Stage.
