The Caribbean is a region of the Americas that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands, and the surrounding coasts. The region's islands consist of former British, Danish, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and the Duchy of Courland colonies, making its islands very culturally diverse.
Festivals and celebrations give us the opportunity to showcase our creative energies. As in other parts of the world, many of the Region's festivals and celebrations are associated with events of religious significance.
