What is the Riviera Maya Jazz Festival?
The Riviera Maya Jazz Festival (RMJF) is an annual jazz music festival typically held in late November in Playa del Carmen.
It has been produced by Fernando Tousaint since 2003 with the support of the municipal institute of culture and arts and is already established as one of the best jazz festivals in the world receiving more than 50 000 visitors.
During its first 3 editions it was called Riviera Maya Latin Jazz Festival but was changed to just Riviera Maya Jazz Festival to reflect its international and inclusive character.
