Fiji swings to a new International Jazz and Blues Festival
You now have an excuse to visit with an International Jazz and Blues Festival being held directly in the hub - Port of Denarau Marina. The festival will be held right on the water’s edge and with Fiji’s largest collection of shopping and dining and the ambience of the festival, Port at Denarau is the only place to be! Families, couples and independent travellers can combine their love of music with a relaxing holiday on one of the outer islands.
If you’re planning on attending you could choose to base yourself at one of the many resorts Denarau Island has to offer for a few days while you soak up all the atmosphere of this incredible festival. You can then make your way to one of the isolated islands of the Mamanuca’s or the Yasawa Islands to spend the rest of your time soaking up the sun.
MTA – Mobile Travel Agents have access to booking all the luxurious resorts right on the doorstep and can assist in putting your holiday together, including direct flights from many of our capital cities staying at popular resorts such as Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa, Radisson Resort, Sheraton Fiji Resort, Radisson Blu Resort, The Westin Denarau Island Resort and Spa, Fiji Beach Resort and Spa managed by Hilton and many more.

Musicians will be travelling all over the world to be a part of the successful line up of international artists. Jazz and Blues stars from USA, Australia, New Zealand, England and more locally the talented Fijians will also be showing their musical talents over the four days.
