This year’s DR Jazz Festival is set for Thursday 6 – Sunday 9 November in Puerto Plata city, Sosua and Cabarete.
Sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism, Ron Macorix and residential developments in Puerto Plata (Sea Horse Ranch, Millennium Hotel, Ultravioleta and Casa Linda), the Dominican Republic Jazz Festival brings jazz to local residents and tourists who gather under the stars. Last year, the festival enjoyed record-breaking attendance with a combined audience of over 10,000 people, say the organizers. FeduJazz, a non-profit organization, also conducts musical workshops for young people, making the most of the visiting musicians.
The festival is free, but VIP tickets are available for pre-sale and benefit the foundation that works with young people in Puerto Plata.
