So the event took place the following year. In 2013, the Cultural and Congress Center's proposal was to retain the public raised last year.

2014 brought other surprises. The bet would continue to bring national and international artists, but in order to attract and educate the public, the Jazz in the City aspect was created, then the concerts were extended to various public spaces and others such as restaurants and bars.
