Festival de Jazz de Búzios

The Búzios Jazz Festival takes over the center of the seaside town of Armação dos Búzios, in Rio de Janeiro state, each year with free concerts on Praça Santos Dumont. Staged with support from the Sesc Jazz & Blues circuit and the local city government, it runs for several days and blends jazz, blues, and instrumental music with a mix of Brazilian and international performers. The festival plays on Búzios's coastal setting to draw a wide crowd of locals and visitors alike.
