Are you already as excited as we are about the 2015 Boquete Jazz&Blues Festival? In addition to putting together an amazing line-up of top-class Jazz & Blues acts the festival crew has been working hard on a program to get you in the mood way before the actual festival. Here are a number of exciting local pre-festival events coming up in the months leading up to the BIG event which you don't want to miss, so mark them in your calendars!
We're still working on some of the events so please check back frequently
