Events in Dominica Though not as well-endowed with nightspots as other, more touristy islands, Dominica has lots to offer, that is if you still have energy after diving or walking to the Boiling Lake!
This round-up of events give you some idea what to expect. Check our Events Calendar for full details.
From the World Creole Music Festival in late October, to Independence in November followed by February's Carnival, the major events of the year are either side of Christmas.
However, the summer sees plenty of action as well. Domfesta hosts many events from April to June, and the Giraudel-Eggleston Flower Show usually takes place during this time as well.
The ever-popular Dive Fest kicks off in early July and runs for about two weeks. The Kubuli Carib Canoe Race is a highlight of this event.
Throughout the year many communities have village feasts. Examples are the Feast of St. Peter (held in West coast fishing villages like Dublanc), La Salette in Pointe Michel, or Fete Isidore in Grand Bay. Usually held over a weekend, the feast may start with a church service, followed by events throughout the day, and culminates in a dance in the village hall or school.
Dominica's Carnival, held at the traditional pre-lenten time, is a feast of calypso, shows and two exciting days of street jump-up. Carnival is formally opened about a month before the two final days of jump-up.
Carnival 2008 Dates are February 4th & 5th. (There should also be a host of events in the two or three weeks leading up to Carnival itself.)
