Last week (april 18th - 19th), San Juan del Sur was proud to host the first Music Fest Nicaragua 2008. The inaugural community event brought thousands of people to our sleepy beach town to enjoy Nicaraguan art, culture, and music.

The two-day event opened on Friday night with Noche Urbana. DJ’s, graffiti artists, and breakdancers pleased the crowds and kicked off the event in style at the new San Juan del Sur Sports Park.

Saturday afternoon featured Arts in the Park, with local artists displaying their work on San Juan del Sur’s newly remodeled town square in front of the cathedral. Artists showed their paintings, photographs, ceramics, furniture, and jewelry while a jazz quartet played in the background.

The finale on Saturday right was a rollicking affair with Nicaraguan music groups & rock bands playing late into the night. We at Aurora are looking forward to helping Music Fest grow and we’re exited for next year’s event.
