This year, the Caribbean Sea Jazz Festival in Aruba, proved a great success, not only for its new venue, but also an appealing diversity of music, bringing back some of the distinctly Latin feel of its predecessor, which proved immensely popular

Due to the fact the Caribbean Sea Jazz Festival has grown over the years, this year’s festival needed to move to a new venue and the organization of the Caribbean Sea Jazz Festival picked the Renaissance Marketplace for the 7th edition of the festival. In order to have everything in place to host performances of internationals artist like El Gran Combo, Willy Garcia (from Grupo Niche ), Giovanca and Levi Silvanie, setup of the festival venue started early this year.

As premium partner of the first Aruba Electric Festival, Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino hosted several parties and events such as an Electric Pool Party, an Artist and Press dinner and Q & A sessions. Besides all the festivities, guest of the Renaissance Aruba Resort got the opportunity to experience the first recently renovated guestroom of the adults-only Marina resort.

The Aruba's team of "junior" golfers won the first place, not only surpassing a number of veteran golfers and pros, but setting a new tournament record that will be very difficult to beat.

The weekend was emphasized by celebrity brunches and dinners along with beach and after parties. The present sultry weather did not deter or diminish the electric event, as this debut addition to Aruba's annual schedule brought a new demographic to discover the island.

Sitting under the stars by the pool having great food, savoring tropical drinks, listening to steelpan music playing and enjoying a Caribbean mélange of shows is a great way to start or end your vacation. The Radisson Aruba Resort Casino & Spa General manager, Mark Lyttleton-Frances, explains that the event is designed to entertain locals and visitors alike by showcasing Aruba's music and culture al-fresco at the beautiful gardens and beach front of the Radisson Aruba Resort Casino & Spa at a reasonable price.
