Creole, Independence and Culture Fever!

Are you in the mood to Party?!

Well the Nature Island now has a party Fever! The island continues to blossom with great music, food, dance and demonstrations of its culture and heritage.

This week the Botanical gardens comes alive with the Creole in The Park (CITP). This is a 4 day event Monday to Thursday which displays the island's food, culture and music all coming together in the cool surroundings of the islands Botanical Gardens. The food is great - crab callaloo, roast breadfruit or green bananas (local term - fig) served with saltfish and salad. This is great. If you want a taste of the true local cusine from the Nature Island then the CITP is the place to be every year on the week leading to the World Creole Music Festival.

Speaking of the World Creole Music Festival, it is quickly approaching. The three nights of pulsating rhythyms (as it quickly being known as) will feature music like you never heard before. It gives a true blend of the different types of music. Come and experience the kompa, zouk, reggae, soca and more music. The Festival is always held on the last weekend in October which leads to the Indepemdence Day (November 3rd).


This is the 13th edition so if you are not there this year, then be sure to make it for next year!

Let us know what you love about the festival if you have been and if not then what you need to know to ensure that you are there!
Let's talk soon...
