Can we plan which concerts to see?

Yes. The festival website has a program overview with all the concerts, and its My Bebbijazz tool lets you put together your own program.

About

Em Bebbi sy Jazz turns Basel's Old Town into one big jazz evening, with concerts at many spots around the center. It's come-and-go, so families can wander between sets, stop for a song or two and head home when the kids are done. It suits kids who enjoy live music and can stay out for an evening.
