The Hon. Mia Mottley, Chair of CARICOM and Prime Minister of Barbados, says no Caribbean national can afford to miss CARIFESTA XV, which is slated for 22 - 31 August 2025 in Barbados.

She describes the event as the ultimate Caribbean experience for CARICOM nationals and visitors from the international community: "You're going to get from fashion to food, from music to dance, to sculpture…all kinds of creative expression."

She warned, "If yah miss it, blame yahself!"
