Miami, FL – November 10, 2013 – Miami has a sister city, and no, it’s not New York. It’s actually Nice, France. The two cities created a family bond through a partnership with Sister Cities and it recently celebrated that bond with the Miami Nice Jazz Festival. The festival is the kickoff to Miami French Weeks, an initiative of the French-American Chamber of Commerce and the Consulate of France in Miami to promote French culture in South Florida.

The Festival’s Founder and CEO Philippe Pautesta-Herder and Nice-based concert producer Panda Events joined forces to make Miami a little more Parisian with the event. The festival, as Pautesta-Herder says, is the first and only jazz fest of such international significance to come to South Florida. And with it came an audience who took in the smooth sounds from across the globe. If you suddenly have a craving to jet-set to France, well, we understand why.
