47th Annual Carriacou Regatta
Fri, July 27, 2012
Event Description
The Carriacou Regatta began in 1965 as a local boat race using the traditional fishing workboats, to continue the indigenous art of Boat Building handed down by Irish and Scottish Ancestors.
Since that time, it has evolved into a major Caribbean event, held over the Emancipation holiday weekend, with keen competition among sailors from many of the neighbouring islands - Grenada, Tobago, Martinique, Antigua and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Visitors and locals alike admire the skill and captaincy of some of the region's boatmen, as they jostle for supremacy in the different classes of boats, ranging from 14 to 35 feet in length.
In 2012, the Carriacou Regatta Festival celebrates its 47th anniversary from July 29 to August 6, with festival highlights including Miss Aquaval Queen Show, Miss Wet T-Shirt, Donkey Racing, Greasy Pole and numerous cultural and sporting events.
The Carriacou Regatta Festival invites you to experience a true Caribbean traditional festival from July 27th to August 1st. Visit the Official Regatta website, www.carriacouregatta.com, for more information about the events and activities.
