The artist lineup includes a number of local and international groups, as well as Grammy-winning musicians David Sánchez and John Patitucci and the Grammy nominated Pedro Martinez Group. This year, the festival will be held in Puerto Plata, Santiago, Sosúa and Cabarete and entrance to all performances is free. Proceeds from refreshments and VIP tickets will benefit FEDUJAZZ, an organization that provides free music programmes to local children across the country.
