Jazz and Blue Festival

4 years ago

Here we go again for another great Boquete Jazz&Blues festival in 2020! We still have more than 8 months to go, and there's still a lot of work to be done, a lot of details to be nailed down but here are the most important things you need to know for your planning to come to beautiful Panama for the Biggest little Festival in the World:

- Who is going to perform for you
- How much are the tickets and where to get them
More details will be published in a later newsletter, on Facebook and on our website.

First things first: Take a look at this incredibly great line-up!
Festival director John Wolff and his team have outdone themselves again to put this outstanding selection of stellar artists together to come to our picturesque mountain town of Boquete from places as far away as Norway to perform for you! This line-up is certainly one of the best we ever had, and there may even be some additions coming! Don't miss it!

Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to see and hear the Best of the Best in the lush tropical setting of a replica of an ancient Greek theater at spring like temperatures while the northern countries are covered with snow and ice!

Here's your chance to save BIG on festival tickets! Madly discounted early bird ticket sales will start on June 15, 2019 and will run until August 31. Prices will go up considerably after that, so don't miss your chance to get your tickets at steep discounts as soon as possible!

More information about pricing following the early bird period will be published by June 15, so please stay tuned and check in frequently with the BJBF website and Facebook page.

Tickets for our traditional, always sold-out GARDEN PARTY

The festival venue is a beautiful replica of a Greek-style amphitheater with 800 seats in Valle Escondido (The hidden valley), Boquete's most upscale residential development.
Everybody who has ever enjoyed the festival there will tell you that it is one of the most beautiful places you could think of, with great acoustics and unobstructed views of the stage, just perfect for an intimate music festival. Musicians just love it! The steeply sloped seating area will be partially covered by sun sails (preferred seating area) while the platinum seating area at the top will enjoy sun&rain protection plus chairs.

No worries, party animals: Like the years before we will have a jam session every night plus two open mic pro-am sessions and after parties at various venues around town. Details are still being worked out and will be published in time here and on the BJBF website, and facebook page, so stay tuned!.

Panama is the place to be in February! Give the snow & cold a break and come down to the valley of eternal spring with temperatures of around 80 F and two oceans nearby. You won't regret it!

We can't wait to see you here in our beautiful little town of Boquete in the Chiriqui highlands! If you have
any questions please don't hesitate to contact us via the contact
