Do you love warm weather, beautiful beaches, a comfortable lifestyle and live jazz? If you think you would enjoy all of them together, then Playa del Carmen's downtown beachfront is the place for you! Besides beautiful Playa del Carmen condos overlooking the wide, sandy beaches, with evening views of the lights of the island of Cozumel in the distance, this beachfront is also host to many activities and events, one of the most outstanding of which is the Riviera Maya Jazz Festival.
This year saw the 4th annual jazz festival, which take place at the end of each November. The dates were Thursday Nov. 25 to Sunday Nov. 28. In addition to festival favorites like Aguamala, a band which was founded in Playa del Carmen in 2006 and has been a recurring feature each year, there were also a number of big international bands performing, such as The Manhattan Transfer, and a co-performance of Mike Stern, a jazz guitarist and composer who began his career with Miles Davis, and Dave Weckl, called "one of the 25 best drummers of all time" by the Modern Drummer’s Hall of Fame.
This year's festival included 14 different artists, Mexican and international, performing during the 4 evenings.
The event, as every year, was completely free!
To visualize this event, imagine relaxing on a lawn chair on the beach, or on a blanket if you prefer, on a comfortable evening with the refreshing breeze from the water. There stage is always near to a beach club (Mamitas), with chairs and tables. While you enjoy some drinks with friends, you are immersed some good, live jazz.
The air was cool enough so you can put on a long-sleeved shirt if you want, but by no means cold (about 70 degrees, about 5 degrees warmer that the minimum in Play del Carmen.)
Better than visualizing or imagining is actually experiencing it! November and December are one of the best times to be in Playa del Carmen, with very moderate temperatures, and plenty of events, ranging from the rich cultural traditions of the Day of the Dead at the beginning of November, to this excellent extended weekend of modern, international entertainment.
Even better than visiting is actually living next to this beachfront to enjoy Playa del Carmen's great weather and relaxing lifestyle all year round.
