St Kitts and Nevis: The finalists for the much anticipated National Bank Group Soca Monarch Competition have been officially announced, which is scheduled to take place on July 31, 2025 at the Cultural Village. Notably, this competition remains the highlight of the Nevis Culturama Festival as it presents a stage for established artists and rising talent, all competing for the elite title.

Culturama 51 will be launched on July 24 with an opening ceremony, running through August 5. The festival will end with the traditional street parade and Last Lap, putting an end to almost two months of energetic cultural presentation, which began with pre-events in early June.

After a very close and tough competition in the elimination round, the top players in both the Groovy and Power Soca categories have emerged, promising an exciting battle on stage at one of Culturama’s biggest nights - final round of Soca Monarch Competition. Tickets are available for the Soca Monarch finals. General admission is priced at EC$30 and gate entry on the night is at EC$40.
