Get ready St. Lucia travelers and lovers of jazz and the blues—the St. Lucia Jazz Festival is right around the corner and the music begins on May 2nd this year! The Jazz Festival has become one of the biggest draws for St. Lucia vacations and is world renown for the quality of its performers. The normally quiet island town of Castries, St. Lucia comes alive during the Festival week and St. Lucia villas, hotels and resorts are filling up quickly with reservations for Jazz lovers. The Festival takes place at Pigeon Island National Landmark every year.
The St. Lucia Jazz Festival lineup is filled with world-class performers and every year more jazz, R&B, and blues stars come to take part in the adventure. This year’s lineup will be no exception.
On the main stage starting off the music on May 8th are Dianne Reeves and the Julliard Quintet. The next day the stage will host Michael Bolton, Air Supply, Jonathan Butler and Sole Food. Things get even steamier on the 10th with the dynamic Anita Baker, and the Jazz Explosion featuring Najee, Alex Bugnon, Nick Colionne and more artists. St. Lucia visitors will experience an unforgettable finale on May 11th with the amazing Wyclef Jean, Angie Stone, Dionne Warwick, and Eric Ildefonse Quartet. That’s a whole lot of talent descending on the tranquil island of St. Lucia!
Tickets range from $40 to $70 per day for the main stage. Jazz on the Pier is offered free to all comers at 3:00pm on May 8th so everyone on St. Lucia can come enjoy the best the music world has to offer. Other free jazz and R&B offerings happen throughout Castries and the St. Lucia locals become part of the energy. Coolers are allowed, but no glass bottles in the park please. The St. Lucia Jazz Festival is in its 14th year of existence and its fame and joy get stronger every year.
