Lotto Brussels Jazz Weekend fills Brussels, Belgium each last weekend of May with free jazz concerts across the city centre, turning the Grand-Place, Place Sainte-Catherine, and Place de la Bourse into lively open-air stages. The weekend celebrates jazz in all its forms—swing, bebop, fusion, blues, soul—with pop-up sets in bars and cultural venues, plus a roaming Brass Parade that pulls crowds from square to square.
Start with a quick trip form. Weekend in Brussels or a Belgium route—we’ll plan citywide jazz stages & free concerts, smart timing & venue hops, easy Metro/tram routing, and a walkable stay near the centre.
