The Office of Culture and Office of Tourism of the Consell de Formentera are pleased to report that the Formentera Jazz Festival will celebrate its 11th year from 1 to 4 June, with ground zero of the 2023 programme Plaça de la Constitució in Sant Francesc. When organisers first launched FJF with backing from the Consell de Formentera in 2015, they imagined the event as open musical encounter in the world of jazz and dreamed of showcasing various genres and backgrounds and drawing residents and tourists alike.

Alejandra Ferrer, vice president and tourism councillor, encouraged all of Formentera, and visitors too, to enjoy this free festival. Meanwhile, Vanessa Parellada, culture councillor, underscored FJF's "undisputed position as purveyors of quality music that brings musical culture to everyone".

FJF director Maxwell Wright shared his satisfaction with the final programme of world-class artists, who will offer a unique and unforgettable musical experience.

The festival kick-off happens Thursday 1 June at 8.30pm in Molí de Sal with a performance from Ana Rossi Trio. Advance bookings are required as seating is limited. Please call 971187491. Friday and Saturday, the two central days of the festival, Sant Francesc's Plaça de la Constitució will be the scene of performances from Alejandro Delange, Monkeyd Doo, Oscuro, Duquende, Ay Trick and Sonido Tupinamba. FJF's closing event comes Sunday 4 June, with a jam-session at Chezz Gerdi in Es Pujols. Also on Sunday, at 5.00pm, all are invited to join a symbol of organisers' sought-after sustainability: a plastics cleanup of the beach in Es Pujols.
