STREET SCENE & ACCOMMODATION
NEED ACCOMMODATION IN OR NEAR BRECON? – WE HAVE NEGOTIATED SOME GREAT DISCOUNTS ON AIRBnB, HOTELS IN THE AREA – JUST CHECK BELOW
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 banner below) is run by a private contractor EPM Marketing of Swansea, who can be contacted for more information about trader stalls, camp sites, parking, food and entertainment etc. NOTE HOWEVER: There has been no full street closure since 2018.
