STREET SCENE & ACCOMMODATION

Expect to find a “FRAZZ” parade as part of the BJF Weekend. It is a chance to dress up and celebrate, and everyone is welcome to join in. The theme for last year was “Circus and the Elephant”. Similar to the early years of the Brecon Jazz Festival, this year’s parade will be a collaboration between local community groups, venues and individuals, and is a chance for everyone to get involved.

There are free and more advanced paid for workshops running up to the Frazz Parade – or you can prepare your own for a group, club or business you are part of. If you can’t get to any of these, simply show up wearing your brightest clothes to help fill the town with noise, colour and fun. This is definitely a case of ‘the more the merrier’ so spread the word!

Web site (breconjazzfestival.co.uk above banner) is run by private contractors EPM Marketing of Swansea, who should be contacted for more information about street closure planning, trader stalls, camping, parking, food and entertainment etc. NOTE: There has been no street closure since 2019.
