On summer Sundays, jazz bands brighten up your Dinant afternoons with Dixieland and New Orleans songs. The bands start playing at 2:00 p.m. from Place Saint-Nicolas and reach the banks of the Meuse via Place Albert I, crisscrossing the terraces of the Croisette to finally arrive at the Espace Sax around 5:00 p.m., just outside next to Mr. Sax's House.
