If you are yearning for a pure and culturally awakening experience, the 2020 Carriacou Maroon and String Band Music Festival, April 24-26, is definitely the event for you. Maroon culture is all about thanksgiving and prayers to the source of all life, production and prosperity. Its African origins are authentically depicted through stringband music, drumming, singing, the eating of ‘smoke food’ and other rituals practiced on Grenada’s sister isle.

Sample the taste of this traditional smoked food, enjoy performances from various Caribbean islands and come out with the family for an evening of fun, games and pure entertainment. Move to the vibrations of the heavy drumming and groove to the sweet sounds of string band music from Carriacou’s popular musicians. Come enjoy String Bands, smoked food, drums and dance. Three days, three venues but, one festival. As we say, once you have experienced the Carriacou Maroon and String Band Music Festival, your life will never be the same!
