This year will be the 19th edition of the Dominica-based festival, which will take place Oct. 28-30.
“We’re focused on developing the World Creole Music Festival holistically,”said Dominica Tourism Minister Robert Tonge. ““I’m pleased that the government recognized within the festival an opportunity to showcase Dominica to the world, and increased its investment to lend the support we needed to take our offering to the next level. I’m also eternally grateful to our loyal patrons and partners, who over the years have propelled the festival to the upper echelon of regional musical offerings.”
