Caribbean festivals, carnivals and celebrations

A collection of information about events in the Caribbean

IMPORTANT: Many events are either postponed or cancelled, such as due to COVID-19: Be sure to check current information.

Popular events are often music festivals but may also include local celebrations and carnivals. Sporting events such as cricket, football and sailing regattas are also well known in the Caribbean along with local festivities including cultural or food festivals.

Caribbean people love to celebrate and, with amenable weather year round, a festival or a local holiday is never far off. Expect places to have at least one or two major annual festivals. Many places have their own version of carnival which usually is held just before Lent. There's no better way to catch the island vibe and visitors are encouraged to participate.
