Dominica’s Jazz n’ Creole Festival Is Back 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - April 19, 2022 - 5:51 pm

One of the Eastern Caribbean’s top music festivals is making a comeback. 

Dominica’s popular Jazz n’ Creole festival will return to the Cabrits National Park on May 1, 2022, following a two-year hiatus amid the pandemic. 

This will be the 11th edition of the festival, which will feature a number of notable names from the region, from Saint Lucia’s Teddyson John to the JSJ Trio from Guadeloupe. 

Popular Dominican group Femme 4, which includes female artists Marsha Laurent, Shalina Samuel, Marsha Augustine, and Tasha Peltier, will also perform. 

“Dominica’s Jazz ‘n Creole is a fusion of Jazz music with Creole music, food, and culture, all in the family atmosphere of Fort Shirley in the Cabrits National Park,” said Kimberly King, Dominica’s Marketing Manager. “We are thrilled to be able to host the event this year as Events and Festivals are an important niche and strategy pillar for Dominica’s tourism development. Festivals and Events help to ensure the continuity of key traditions while protecting the destination’s culture and importantly, ensuring the socio-economic development of the destination.”
