Sister Cities has among its objectives the establishment and development of ties of friendship, cooperation and mutual promotion and cultural exchange and this festival is just one of the actions conducted jointly by Puerto Vallarta and Highland Park for more than a decade.

The Jazz Festival is held every two years in Puerto Vallarta.

The general public and tourists are invited to attend and enjoy free music presented by five jazz bands from the United States, made up of young and talented school students from the states of Illinois, Utah and California. Guest soloist will be Ruben Alvarez, professional musician in Chicago.

These great bands will play an interesting variety of jazz, from pop music to American.

Both concerts will take place in Downtown Vallarta and will begin at 7:00 pm.

On Friday, February 12, the bands will perform at Hidalgo Park and on Saturday, February 13 at the Los Arcos Theater on the Malecon.

It is also contemplated that the bands will provide a concert in the Juan Luis Cifuentes Lemus auditorium of the University Center of the Coast (CUCOSTA).
