The festival Jazz in de Gracht (literally Jazz in the Canal) is held annually in the picturesque canals of the city of The Hague and is an experience that few countries offer. This free event creates a unique atmosphere and is a way to truly enjoy this beautiful city and all the talent that is hidden within. The artists will pass by the canal quaysides in The Hague on characteristic, flat bottom boats. As soon as a boat leaves from a stop, another one comes along to fill its spot. The canals will be swinging to jazz and other like-minded music.

One of the biggest attractions is the Tong Tong Festival, with hundreds of performances spread over 11 days.
