The planning and organising for the staging of the second annual Port Royal Music Festival is reportedly well underway, and producers are stating that this year's event will exceed all expectations.

The 2007 renewal is scheduled for August 24-26. Kicking off the festivities with the Celebrity Party, followed by the Main Show and a new feature, dubbed Jazz On The Harbour. "It is clear that this year's event will capture 'all the right elements of music, bringing a diverse line-up of activities," explains Christopher Blythe, director of Paradise Communications.

"As we look to further develop and establish a music festival in Kingston, Jamaica, we plan to revive Port Royal and bring forth its once ritzy days, which will be envied by many, not only in Jamaica but the entire region as a festival of class and quality," he added. This year's line-up will include genres from adult contemporary, pop, r&b, reggae and jazz, just to name a few.

The new Sunday event, Jazz On The Harbour, is a revamped concept to replace the previous Brunch On The Bay.
Sunday's affair will be of a much bigger magnitude, the producers say, both in terms of size and scope and it will feature a host of world renowned international jazz musicians.

The Port Royal Music Festival has successfully incorporated the essential elements of entertainment, location, concept, vibe, food, and decor, to create one dynamic package.

The 2006 inaugural staging of the Port Royal Music Festival saw acts like Boyz II Men and Atlantic Starr gracing the stage and their performances were highly received by the crowd.
