The Bachata Academy, in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism and local organizations, presents Puerto Bachata 2025, a series of free concerts that bring together music, dance, and community. Over five Sundays between February and March, the iconic La Puntilla Amphitheater comes alive with live performances by top artists such as Ala Jazá, El Prodigio, El Varón de la Bachata, Ramón Torres, Luis Miguel del Amargue, and Marino Castellanos.
The event aims to raise the visibility of Puerto Plata as a vibrant and authentic tourist destination on local, national, and international levels. It also seeks to strengthen the artistic sector by preserving and promoting bachata, delivering an unforgettable cultural experience to all attendees. Additionally, it serves as a unique opportunity to empower youth by giving stage exposure to emerging talents from the Bachata Academy.
