Hamptons JazzFest has two concerts scheduled this weekend. Hector Martignon and Foreign Affair will bring their fusion of Latin rhythms, jazz, and global music to the Sag Harbor Masonic Temple on Saturday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20; doors will open at 6:30.

In partnership with the Southampton Arts Center, Wings Over Haiti, and Haiti Cultural Exchange, the JazzFest will present Godwin Louis’s Experience Ayiti Project on Sunday at 6 p.m. at the arts center.

A saxophonist and composer, Mr. Louis leads an ensemble that blends jazz mastery with traditional Haitian sounds. “It’s a celebration of heritage, artistry, and community — and a rare opportunity to experience the beauty and depth of Haitian music,” said Claes Brondal, executive director of Hamptons JazzFest.

Tickets are $30, $25 for members. Starting at 5, a Haitian food truck, beer and wine service, and information booths hosted by Wings Over Haiti and Haiti Cultural Exchange will be set up outdoors, weather permitting.
