Curaçao North Sea Jazz

Willemstad, July 2026 - From Thursday, September 3 through Saturday, September 5, 2026, Curaçao will once again transform into one of the Caribbean’s premier music destinations during the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival.

Held at the World Trade Center in Piscadera Bay, this year’s edition brings together an exciting mix of international artists, including J Balvin, Sean Paul, The Jacksons, Toto, Jon Batiste, Gente de Zona, Rubén Blades, Kassav’, PJ Morton and many more. The festivities begin earlier, with a free pre-show by Afro 23 at Kura Hulanda Village on Tuesday, September 1.

Visitors can expect three evenings filled with jazz, soul, R&B, Latin, pop and Caribbean music. Combined with warm tropical nights, great food and an international audience, the festival offers much more than live performances, it is a celebration of music, culture and island life.

Whether you are visiting Curaçao, already own a home on the island or are considering making it your second home, the festival is a perfect example of the vibrant lifestyle Curaçao has to offer.
