Celebrate Local Culture & Rich Heritage
Anguilla’s summer festivities kick off in late May with the Anguilla Day celebrations, marking the island’s independence and rich history with parades, delicious epicurean delights, local music entertainment, and various cultural displays. The island celebrations continue through August, with a vibrant mix of boat races, local concerts, and the island’s carnival celebrations, highlighted by the Anguilla Summer Festival. It’s a time for Anguillians to come together, honor their history, and share their unique culture with the world.
