Dominica is all set to host the highly anticipated World Creole Music Festival which will take place from October 24 to October 26, 2025, at Windsor Park Sports Stadium in Roseau. The celebration aims to provide an international platform for the local artists to showcase their talent.

This year is unique as the nation will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the festival.

The festival will present unforgettable performances, lively crowds, and an experience of Creole culture, which goes beyond music. This year’s theme is “25 Years, 25 Wonders - Feel the Echo, Live the Wonder” which highlights the cultural and natural beauty of the island. The World Creole Music Festival 2025 will feature music genres like bouyon, calypso, reggae, and soca.
