The Bonaire Jazz Festival has become a tradition on the island, and returns this June 4–7 for its fifth installment.

This year's festival boasts a line-up that includes both local and international musicians. It will also showcase a Jazz & Poetry Evening to kick off the festivities at Fort Oranje, featuring the Gabby Saleh Quartet, the Cabacoa Trio, and Surinamese vocalist Denise Jannah.

Two big concerts are the main attraction on June 5th and 6th featuring the Monty Alexander Quartet, Hans Dulfer band, Denise Jannah, Alfredo Naranga of Venezuela–with a ten-musician Latin Jazz Salsa band, the Dikazz Group from Bonaire, and the local Silver Bullet Steelband. A jam session with the evening's musicians will follow each concert from midnight til!

To bring the curtain down, the popular Jazz Brunch returns on June 7th, featuring local musicians as well as headliners from the festival.
