The festival features a diverse lineup of performers from the local region and abroad, serving as a platform that promotes Creole music and heritage while reinforcing Dominica\u2019s reputation as a prominent events destination within the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

The DDA said it “encourages members of the public and diaspora to tune in live via the Dominica Festivals Facebook page or through coverage by partner media houses to stay informed and connected as momentum builds toward the festival weekend.”<\/p>\n
