Held
at the town of Oistins on the
South Coast of Barbados, the Oistins Fish Festival celebrates
the contribution made to Barbados by those persons involved
in the local fishing industry.
The festival is a unique
attraction that offers fun and entertainment for both locals
and visitors alike.
Music,
Crafts, Food and Fun!
Enjoy the sweet
strains of calypso and reggae music coming from the sidewalk stalls. Of
course dancing to all that music builds up an appetite, so head for the
food and beverage stalls and enjoy traditional Bajan fare such as fish
cakes, fried fish and pudding and souse, all washed down with a cool Banks
Beer.
Local arts and crafts can also be found in abundance as local craftsmen
take the opportunity to display their wares.
Entertaining, the Oistins
Fish Festival certainly is! The fish boning competition is a huge attraction
for both locals and visitors as is the grease-pole competition!
The focus
of the festival however is really on honouring those who contribute
to the fishing industry in Barbados. A time to remember those who feed
us from the seas surrounding this beautiful island.
Come
and Enjoy the Oistins Fish Festival!
A Unique Festival in a Unique Island!
