A celebration of Caribbean culture

The BVI fungi, calypso, reggae and gospel festivals are firmly rooted in African traditions but are distinctly Caribbean. The lively beat of fungi, steel pan and calypso celebrates our heritage all around at hotels, bars and parks. The Easter Festival in Virgin Gorda is held in the spring; the Music Festival is held in May; the Emancipation Festivals in Road Town, East End and Carrot Bay are held in the summer; and the Christmas Festival brightens Main Street in Road Town in December with lights, food, gifts and festivities. At these and other craft fairs held throughout the year, local artists and artisans display their amazing work in rattan, terracotta and wicker, as well as sculptures, watercolours, oil paintings and photography.
