Venue
Budapest Jazz Club
1136 Budapest, Hollán Ernő utca 7.
On the last evening of the year, the Budapest Jazz Club's unique atmosphere provides the memorable setting. Operating in District XIII, in the heart of Újlipótváros on Hollán Ernő street, the club is a beloved meeting place of the city's music life, where Hungarian and international artists take the stage.
The intimate feel of the concert hall brings the music close: the audience gets to live the drive of live concerts almost within arm's reach.
A shared farewell to the year in a place where live music, a cosy interior and gastronomy all come into their own — and, for the first time, a latin theme too.
Let's meet at the Budapest Jazz Club and welcome the new year together!
