Traditionally, the festival has its climax on Friday and Saturday 11 and 12 November on the beach of Cabarete.
In previous years, Sosúa also took part in the festival.
In this year's overview, Sosúa, to our disappointment, is no longer mentioned.
This year again world-famous jazz musicians from the different continents will participate at the festival.
At the same time, there are again musical workshops, lectures, exhibitions and graphic jazz sessions for youth and adults.
Probably there will be, as last year, some workshops and lectures at Sosúa Casa de Arte.
The director of Casa de Arte Sosúa, Adolfo Faringthon will once again take care of the graphic designs for the festival.
Adolfo Faringthon is next to director of Casa de Arte Sosúa, also a highly celebrated artist.
