Port-au-Prince, March 20, 2025 – The Haiti Jazz Foundation is once again forced to postpone the 18th edition of PAPJAZZ, which was originally scheduled to begin today. Due to the continuous deterioration of the situation since the beginning of the week, security conditions do not allow for the event to take place as planned.
This is the second postponement of this edition, and the organizers are making every effort to quickly identify a new suitable date. Festival-goers who have already purchased tickets will be able to use them once the new date is announced.
The Haiti Jazz Foundation warmly thanks its partners for their continued support, including the Ministry of Culture, the BRH (Bank of the Republic of Haiti), the embassies of Canada, Chile, Spain, the United States, France, and Mexico, the IFH (French Institute of Haiti), the International Organization of La Francophonie, Fokal, the DAC of Martinique, UNIQ, and its sponsors: Rhum Barbancourt, Prestige, Karibe Hotel, Radio and Télé Métropole, Radio and Télé Caraïbes, Wingaz, Chokarella, Affiche-toi, Digicel, the Brazil-Haiti Cultural Center, Accès Haïti, as well as all those who contribute to the success of PAPJAZZ, including the friends of PAPJAZZ, the teams, and the volunteers.
Thank you and we hope to see you very soon!!
