January
With dry season and tourist season at their peaks, this is a big month for
travel in Panama. It's prime time for kitesurfing and swimming, since Pacific
Ocean temperatures are at their warmest and the wind is up.
Panama Jazz Festival
The weeklong jazz festival (
www.panamajazzfestival.com
) is one of the biggest musical
events in Panama, drawing top-caliber international musicians from jazz, blues, salsa and
other genres. Held all over the city, the open-air events are usually free. (

new tradition seeks to revive island culture with a weekend festival
(
