Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival

This festival takes place each year in Willemstad, Curaçao, around Piscadera Bay and the World Trade Center. Launched in 2010 as a Caribbean spin-off of the Dutch North Sea Jazz Festival, it brings together jazz, soul, R&B, funk, reggae and Latin and world music across several stages. It draws internationally known performers and has become one of the region's major music gatherings.
