Calabash Festival

The next one in the list of the most famous festivals in Montserrat that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Calabash Festival. The first Montserrat Calabash Festival was planned in 2005. Florence Griffith Joseph, a local businesswoman, came up with the idea, which was brought to life with the help of volunteers from Montserrat's hospitality sector. As a result, the Montserrat Calabash Festival held its first celebration in July 2006. The main sponsors are the Montserrat Government, the Montserrat Tourist Board, The Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Montserrat, and several local Montserrat businesses.

This mid-July festival honors Montserrat's most useful fruit, which is used to make many of the island's traditional musical instruments, eating implements, and other items. This seven-day event includes a cricket match, gospel concert, island boat tour, and Irish lecture series, as well as a nail and hair show followed by a jazz concert.
