Do you know that Maastricht turns to festival place sometimes?
We have Vrijthof Square in Maastricht, which turns to interesting place!

- Preuvenemint
At the end of August, Vrijthof Square is full of Jazz. Preuvenemint is one of biggest Maastricht’s festival and only one festival where you can drink and enjoy jazz together. Preuve means to taste and evenemint means an event. Some of Maastricht’s best restaurants or bars sell there food in the form of snack bar. You should buy a card and top up, if you want to have food there. It is quite expensive but it is affordable in the fancy and chill atmosphere. And also the proceeds of this event are fully donated. It is really good way to know and experience Maastricht’s culture.
