St. Lucia Jazz Festival, 4 - 13 May, 2007 - Lineup, Venues
and Photo Album
The St Lucia Jazz Festival has become one of the major events
on St. Lucia's calendar of events. During the month of May,
the island moves to the beat of jazz when music fills the air
and tourism takes on a whole new meaning to all. What started
as simply a marketing event to boost tourism industry arrivals
during a low peak period, has now developed into one of the
top 2 jazz festivals in the world and is the second biggest
event in the Caribbean next to the Trinidad carnival. The official
dates for the 2007 jazz festival is 4 -13 May. Please be advised
that some of the acts for the Jazz 2007 line-up has yet to be
announced. This page will continue to be updated with newly
announced performances.

MAIN VENUES
Pigeon Island - Home of the St. Lucia Jazz Festival,
Pigeon Island is one of the Caribbean's most historic landmarks
and certainly one of the most beautiful spots in St. Lucia.
Connected to the mainland by a causeway and surrounded by the
Caribbean Sea, Pigeon Island serves as the ideal venue for the
2 closing days of the Festival. Many entertainers have said
that this is the most beautiful venue that they have ever performed
at and many have returned.
Pigeon Island National Park - In 1999 the Pigeon Island
Side Lawn was introduced. Located on Pigeon Island, directly
in front of the Captain's Cellar (a historic hangout of the
military hierarchy), this venue hosts two evening performances.
Starlit nights create the perfect ambience for a night you
won't
want to miss!
We offer a range of moderately priced self-contained apartments
and private villas, all close to the Reduit
beach, in Rodney Bay,
St Lucia. Close to all main Jazz Festival events. Prices
start from US$75/night. Book now for Jazz 2005
to avoid disappointment.
