The story

Festival Internacional de Jazz de Punta del Este in Punta del Este

Festival Internacional de Jazz de Punta del Este is an annual jazz festival held each January in the resort city of Punta del Este, reaching its 30th edition at the Finca El Sosiego estate. Running from January 7 to 11 in its most recent confirmed edition, it brings international and Uruguayan jazz musicians together during the height of Uruguay's summer tourist season.

Punta del Este built its international reputation on beaches, yachts and nightlife, but for thirty years running, the resort city has also hosted one of Uruguay's most enduring jazz festivals.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Reaching a 30th edition places this among the longest-running jazz festivals in South America, and its setting at Finca El Sosiego, a rural estate rather than a conventional concert hall or beachfront stage, gives the festival a distinctive open-air character that sets it apart from Punta del Este's more typically glamorous beach-resort event calendar

02

The mystery stays covered

Local press, including Busqueda and EL PAIS Uruguay, has specifically grouped it among several jazz festivals worth catching during the Uruguayan summer, noting that some editions offer free admission, an unusual choice for a festival operating in one of South America's most expensive resort towns
