Gregory EliasGregory Elias Organizes and

Finances Film and Music Festivals in Curacao

Organizing music festivals on the island of Curacao is

something Gregory Elias has done for years.

A finance industry professional, he has extensive experience

in this field.

Throughout the year, Curacao holds three music festivals

and one film festival that are not to be missed.

In May, Curacao plays host to the Curacao International

BlueSeas Festival. This two-day celebration of all things

Blues offers great food and even better music.

Held at the Pietermaai District in Willemstad, this Blues

extravaganza is quite popular, and not to be missed.

Admission is free.

Gregory Elias is responsible for organizing and financing the

Curacao North Sea Jazz Festival. While the festival itself

only lasts for three days, there is constant partying and Jazz

listening during those seventy-two hours.

Guests will experience many forms of Jazz, Funk, Soul, R&B,

and Latin Music during the event, including some of the

biggest names in the industry.

For the last six years, this has been the most sought after

and anticipated community event each year. Gregory Elias

has extensive involvement in the festival’s organization.

During the month of July a People’s Festival is organized

which brings all the goodies the local Curacao culture has to

offer not only in music but also in other artistic areas such a

sculpture and paintings.

Also here the admission is free.

Last but not least the Curacao International Film Festival

Rotterdam

Held every year during the first week of April and which just

celebrated its first lustrum.(www.curacaoiffr.com).

A must for all lovers of Art House movies.
