World Creole Music Festival to kick off Friday night

By: Staff Reporter in Dominica, SKNVibes.com

    ROSEAU, Dominica – ONE of the most unique events on the Caribbean festival calendar, the World Creole Music Festival is set to begin this evening (OCt. 25) at the iconic Windsor Park in Dominica.

     

    This festival is among the few that preserve the region's Creole heritage, providing local artists the opportunity to showcase their talent on a stage shared with some of the world’s best performers, including those from across the region.

     

    On Friday, the festival opens with an exciting lineup of local and regional acts, pulsating with the vibrant sounds of Dominica. Over the years, the event has grown significantly, attracting media personnel from across the region to document the festival’s offerings and share with the world what they might have missed.

     

    There is a palpable buzz around the island, with national patriotic wear on full display. As the sun sets, all attention will turn to the cricket ground, where artists like Nadia Batson—known for hits such as "Market" and "So Long I Ain't See You", T-Voice, and Valiant are expected to light up the stage.

     

    The event has become a key pillar of the tourism sector, contributing 10% of Dominica's annual visitor arrivals during the week of the festival. This is a vital period for the government, as a significant influx of foreign currency circulates within the economy.

     

    Small businesses also benefit from the festival, with car rental agencies fully booked and Airbnb accommodations in high demand throughout the event.

     

    At a press conference held in Roseau today, the organizers emphasized that this is an event not to be missed.
