The Caribbean Festival of Arts, commonly known as CARIFESTA, is a multi-disciplinary arts festival held in various CARICOM countries since its establishment in 1972. It serves as a regional forum for artists and performers to exchange ideas and showcase Caribbean unity through presentations of music, dance, drama, art exhibitions, sculpture, poetry, and symposia. The festival aims to depict the life, heroes, morals, myths, traditions, beliefs, and creativity of the people of the region. Barbados is set to host CARIFESTA XV from August 22 to 31, 2025, under the theme "Caribbean Roots…Global Excellence."
