Le Tour de Monsieur Sax
Would you like to occupy the new bandstand in Dinant? The Association Internationale Adolphe Sax will be happy to guide you through the booking process.
Thanks to the refurbished 350-seat tiered seating, this new tourist and cultural venue offers a new choice to organise shows and events for all audiences.
You can check the programme on our website. You can also use this page to submit your requests for occupation.
The 'Tour of Mister Sax' is there for you. Through your events, it only asks to serve and to vibrate. To live, quite simply.
