Cancellation: Xàbia will not celebrate the Xàbia Jazz Festival this 2023

27 July 2023 - 17: 32

A few days ago, both in the interview conducted by Xàbia.com with the mayoress of Xàbia, Rosa Cardona, as in the statement issued by the government team (PP, CpJ, VOX), the blocking of the municipal budget was announced, which in turn prevented going ahead with the announced efforts, including cultural events. Thus, and given the lack of budget, one of the first cancellations to be carried out, after being held for 22 years and being a benchmark, will be the Xàbia Jazz Festival.

Faced with this news, the Xàbia Historical Association dismisses as "irresponsible" that the festival was announced since spring and did not have a budget. "Restaurants and bars had reservations for those days," they indicate from the business group.

Since Xàbia Histórica has been aware of the cancellation of Xàbia Jazz in its 2023 edition scheduled for August 5, 6 and 7, it has maintained contacts with the Councilor for Culture, Mavi Pérez and mayor of Economic Development, juanlu cardona, with the intention of finding some kind of solution among all so that Xàbia would not be left without a jazz festival for the first time in the last twenty-two years (with the exception of 2020 due to the pandemic).

However, given the impossibility of reversing the situation because the budget items of the Department of Culture have been depleted since before the elections, the merchants and businessmen of the Historic Center want to state the following:

«The news of the suspension of what should be the XXII edition of Xàbia Jazz has arrived when the restaurants and bars of Xàbia Histórica already have reservations for those days. They are customers who dine in establishments and then go to the performances.

The merchants call the suspension of Xàbia Jazz a disaster, which has always been a focus of attraction for visitors -the quality tourism that we all like to claim so much- who in those days knew the shops with their walks before the concerts. Not being able to celebrate the festival hurts the Xàbia brand.

Likewise, merchants and businessmen from the Historic Center criticize that the Xàbia Jazz celebration was announced in spring, even on mupis installed by the municipality and with the distribution of flyers in which it appears programmed and that are still available in municipal spaces, despite not have budget allocation. Programming without having a budget is an irresponsible act.

Another cancellation: Sorolla exhibition

In addition, from Xàbia Histórica they regret that Xàbia Jazz is not the only cultural event canceled due to lack of budget. The exhibition on Sorolla scheduled at the Mvsev Soler Blasco from July to September, which was to be an attraction for the Historic Center this summer, will not be held on the announced dates either.

    WHAT A MESS !!
    They don't know how to manage these new ones, after criticizing so much,

    And you will have to pay in addition, for breach of contract
    What a pity, after so many years

    • Marisa says:

      Juan, as you well know, the new Government of Jávea has been in office for a month. You know perfectly well that the responsibility for this chaos lies with Chulvi, the previous mayor, and the only one responsible in these last 12 years for the state of the coffers of Jávea.
      You know that the PP is not responsible, but you lash out at it with the sole purpose of arguing, for hatred to follow its path, the one marked by the PSOE.
      But nothing happens, we know your ways, people do not buy your speech. You only get power by agreeing with ETA members and separatist nationalists, nothing new.

      • Pablo says:

        Marisa, do you know what Sanchismo is? … That four years ago you suckled, and now the same. To cry to the cry.

        • Marisa says:

          Of course yes, that is socialism, well said.
          Not only are you rude, which serves as an example to all haters of your ilk, you also think you're funny, the complete package of total mental insufficiency. The same one that we have had 12 years in Jávea and the last 4 in Spain.
          Nothing new, majete, nothing new.

        • Javea citizen says:

          You are rude without grace.
          Your attitude is deplorable, and as they say, you are an example of the hating left.
          Unfortunate that we have to live with such individuals.
          This twisted Opposition is the PSOE.

      • mar botia fernandez says:

        So I understand that it is the management of a political party, in this case the PSOE, that is responsible for such a consolidated festival (which is by no means free) and that those of us who usually go are delighted to pay, and that there is no money or budgets for the culture? So I would like to know which other events we will give up. I imagine that the numerous bullfighting festivals that do not have an entrance payment, therefore no collection but many expenses for all the residents of Jávea will also be suspended?

    With the same rules of the game and less money, Quico Moragues could and Mavi collapsed at the first change. There are no further questions, Your Honor.

  3. Luis says:

    A lot of complaining and a lot of crying, years ago in a town the mayor gave the population a choice, spending the money on necessary infrastructures or parties, the town chose parties...

  4. Another pissed off neighbor says:

    That they stop spending on garbage like bulls and firecrackers that only stink up the town and give the local people an aura of troglodytes. Torture is neither art nor culture

  5. Bogamari says:

    Treballar, treballar, treballar per xabia… hahahahaha….to stretch, to stretch, to stretch….if not volieu broth for four cups…inquisitiu…something, that all of us know…»fails».

  6. barts people says:

    Well... we will always have the bulls...

    PS: ironic mode ON

  7. antiwe can says:

    It is the poisoned inheritance of Chulvismo. It has left the city council without liquidity. It is what there is when the members govern, with the money of others they do everything possible to spend and ruin the next government

  8. Vecino says:

    This government doesn't even know how to get money out of the bank. At this rate they end the year with 80 million in the bank...
    And what do they do? They only cancel what they want or what?

  9. Paco says:

    My goodness, what a level of ineptitude and little responsibility. It was seen coming that they had few lights, but not even being able to carry out what was organized….
    That they do not make excuses and do not think that people can be deceived in this way.
    It is a maximum shame that the jazz festival is not celebrated.
    Pathetic debut of the councilor for culture and the rest of the team

    • María says:

      You know that this is not the responsibility of the PP, but as a good socialist and palmero from Chulvi you want to lie and put tares, no, it is not the fault of the PP and you know it, but that is how the socialists spend them, right?
      What a hateful opposition we have in Jávea, this is Socialism, there is no more.

  10. Mari Xabia says:

    They are lying. They suspend what they want (surely what Vox demands of them as is happening in other towns)
    If not, as the Moors have done, they do Living Chess and other percussion and classical music festivals. something doesn't add up

    • Citizen says:

      Sure man, it must be that the current government is so stupid doing this. Well no, it doesn't strain.
      They have left him this other inheritance hidden among so much propaganda and photos and advertisements and false little speeches.
