The Dominican Republic Jazz Festival is one of the Caribbean's most beloved and prestigious music events. Held annually in Cabarete on the North Coast, this free festival brings world-class jazz musicians to perform on a stage set directly on the beach, with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop.
Founded to promote cultural exchange and support young Dominican musicians, the festival combines intimate beachside performances with educational clinics and workshops. The relaxed, barefoot-on-the-sand atmosphere sets it apart from typical music festivals.
