The 2013 Boquete Jazz&Blues Festival is over.....but the memories remain. By many accounts this one was the best festival in Boquete ever! Four days filled with excitement, great music, dancing and just having the best fun ever!
Just take a look of the photos and slide shows...it was kind of magic again! First class entertainers of Jazz and Blues, a beautiful venue, good weather and lots of music and fun-loving people!
This tiny little town of Boquete is truly a unique, magic place....where incredible things can happen....
If you couldn't make it this year make plans to come to the highlands of Chiriqui next year....you won't regret it!
Here's a little slide show of our New Orleans-style street parade on Thursday, Feb 28, day one of the festival....
