About Carolina’s Caribbean Culture Festival
Carolina’s Caribbean Culture Festival was created to introduce, celebrate, and elevate Caribbean culture in South Carolina through immersive, authentic experiences. Grounded in history and driven by creativity, the festival brings people together through music, food, art, storytelling, and shared joy.
What began as a vision to fill a cultural gap has grown into a respected multi-day festival experience – one that honors heritage while fostering connection, understanding, and community pride.
Rooted in authentic Caribbean traditions, the festival showcases the diversity of the region—from vibrant Carnival expressions and live performances to culinary showcases and cultural education. Our goal is simple and bold: to ensure Caribbean culture is seen, respected, and experienced in meaningful ways.
