Shape Your Nevis Visit Around These Must-Do Events

Nevis is more than just a beautiful island surrounded by sandy beaches and fascinating landscapes. Beyond its wonderful weather, it’s an island with a packed schedule of fun and interesting things to see and do, all year round.

From the famous Cross Channel Swim across the Narrows to the challenging Nevis Marathon, sports is big business in Nevis and a unique way to discover every corner of this stunning Caribbean island.

To soak up the culture and cuisine of the island, attend the popular Mango Festival – a fun and interactive annual event, celebrating the many varieties of this sweet and juicy fruit in the summer months.

Then there’s Culturama – a vibrant 12-day summer festival and major highlight on Nevis’ annual events calendar, that celebrates one of the most significant milestones in the island’s history – the freedom of slaves in the 1830s. The local Nevisian people get into costume and enjoy the variety of entertainment from Caribbean musicians and artists at venues across the whole island.

It takes place in September on a testing course that’s an imaginative combination of challenging hills and flatter terrain that gives an opportunity for speed.
