Come and enjoy the beautiful city of Haarlem with a soundtrack this August 15 - 17 as Haarlem Jazz & More fills the streets with international artists and swinging beats.
Haarlem Jazz & More music festival
Haarlem market square is usually known for the incredible weekend market it hosts, with its large arrays of delicious Dutch food. This August, however, you can take a seat at one of the many terraces and enjoy a beer and some jazz.
With three stages set up on different sides of the square, Haarlem is set to become jazz central for the weekend!

Shary-An
Here's a taste of Saturday night headliner, Shary-An, who first shot to fame after appearing on TV-show The Voice:
The festival takes place on the Grote Markt and surrounding streets. Haarlem has, like most Dutch cities, a medieval centre, so driving in is not recommended due to narrow streets and limited parking. Public transport is the best way to get here. The Grote Markt is just a 10-minute walk from Haarlem central train station, which is well connected to the rest of the Netherlands by both train and bus.
The festival is free and no tickets are required. You can check out the whole programme on the Haarlem Jazz & More website.
