Unfortunately no Curaçao North Sea Jazz in 2023

To the great regret of the organization, there will be no Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival in 2023. They have done everything in their power to make it happen, but due to a combination of logistical challenges, staff shortages, extremely busy tour schedules and huge cost increases in the aftermath of the corona pandemic, organizing the large multi-day festival in Curaçao has proved unfeasible.

Overview of the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival

Do you LOVE music and diving? If you do then start planning your 2023 Caribbean diving vacation around the Curacao North Sea Jazz Festival.

WHY? Because The Curacao North Sea Jazz Festival has quickly become the marquee musical event of the Caribbean, drawing thousands of fans to Curaçao for the biggest party of the year and it is returning in 2023.

The popular music festival will then experience its tenth edition. The festival was last held in 2019. Then Juan Luis Guerra, Pitbull, Earth Wind & Fire, Mariah Carey, Gladys Knight, Maroon 5 and Nicky Jam performed.

The CNSJ was created by Fundashon Bon Intenshon to stimulate tourism in the low season. The festival was always held on the WTC site on the last weekend of August. The formula worked because Hotels and apartments were fully booked during the festival because it attracted a wide variety of tourists from all over the world, not to mention the Curaçao locals.
