The time is here again and to be honest I have seen my fair share of Jazz Festival… But for you enthusiasts out there, in the coming week it all starts getting busy again, the traffic builds up and so does the island of St Lucia, more specifically the north of the island. St Lucia Jazz is HERE and the buzz is in the air. Posters are everywhere, Pigeon Island is like lego land at the moment as they frantically work to get all the stages up before the party begins.

One of the major events of the island, St Lucia Jazz Festival bring people from all over the world. The events usually take place at the start of the month of May, most of the island takes part. You may not find fully fledged St Lucia Jazz event all over the island but you with find Jazz, at least the local attempt to create a party worth going to. And to think it all started as a way to drive more tourism to the island during a low season!

St Lucia Jazz Festival as it’s called is really a mix of Jazz, French, Reggae and may other forms of music. If you are a real jazz enthusiast you may be some what disappointed, but if you enjoy jazz and other music and are looking for a place to just enjoy music then St Lucia Jazz Festival seldom fails to live up to the hype. Some past performers include Amy Winehouse, Chaka Khan, Herbie Hancock, Regina Belle, Al Jarreau, George Benson, John Ledend, Kassav and even UB40 just to name a few.
