The European Blackout- Northsea Jazz Festival (Paris and Rotter.png

We've created the ultimate 10-day European travel experience! 2 beautiful cities, breathtaking sights, and VIP experience at the largest indoor music festival in the world!

We'll start in Paris with a Black History tour and ThrowBLACK party under the stars on the world-famous Seine River! Think Soul Train, dashikis, afros, stacked heels, bell-bottoms, disco. Can you imagine a bunch of black folks in dashikis and afros...celebrating Juneteenth ON July 4th in Paris...under the Eiffel Tower? No, it's not a movie. It's really happening, and we want you to experience it for yourself!

Then we’ll take the bullet train to the Netherlands, for a VIP Experience at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam. You've never seen a festival itinerary this extensive. You will literally need to PLAN who you want to see, because there are so many concerts and shows happening over 3 days. The VIP lounge, with unlimited food and drinks is a great place to people watch and unwind. You may even see your favorite artist!
