The Dinant Jazz Festival takes over the Citadel: a magnificent 25th edition!
When swing meets history: a unique collaboration for an exceptional anniversary.
To celebrate its25 years, the Dinant Jazz Festival steps outside its usual walls and partners with the iconicCitadel of Dinant. Winner of the project call"Heritage in Show", this anniversary event merges the energy of jazz with the majesty of our Walloon heritage.
Throughout the summer, Wallonia comes alive, but it is in Dinant that the heart of jazz will beat the strongest in July. Between the Abbey of Leffe and the heights of the Citadel, we invite you to a multisensory experience where the emotion of the blue note meets ancient stone. A unique opportunity to share suspended moments, bring generations together, and rediscover our region from a vibrant and festive perspective.
