I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Caribbean Community members and the public at large for their unwavering support of the Caribbean festival, Carifest. The small but mighty team at Carifest has been working nonstop to make our festival a continued success. As we look ahead to the 2025 festival, we are excited to announce a series of incredible events that will make this year’s celebration truly unforgettable.
Among the highlights will be the Gospel Concert, a soul-stirring experience that will bring together the best of Caribbean gospel music, as well as the Carifest Children’s Festival, a fun-filled and enriching event designed for our younger generation to celebrate the beauty and vibrancy of Caribbean culture. We will also feature Caribbean Cultural Folk Workshops and Showcases, where visitors can immerse themselves in traditional dance, music, arts, and crafts from across the Caribbean.
In addition, we are thrilled to have space at and celebrate at the newly renamed Shaw Millennium Park, now known as Cowboys Park which will serve as the venue for this year’s festivities. As our cultural festival nears a major anniversary, we are proud to continue working hard to grow and strengthen Carifest. We are committed to celebrating our heritage, building lasting memories, and fostering a sense of community for all who join us in the spirit of the Caribbean.
