Marigot Set to Celebrate Community Spirit with May Fest 2025

(Marigot, Dominica – May 1, 2025) The Marigot Development Corporation (MDC) is proud to present the 15th edition of May

Fest. Under the theme “May is Marigot,” 2025 promises an engaging series of activities showcasing the spirit, energy, and resilience of Marigot. Throughout the month, residents and visitors alike will enjoy a rich mix of cultural, educational, sporting, and entertainment events designed for all ages.

May Fest officially launched with a Press Conference on May 1st, where the full program was unveiled, and the community partners and sponsors were recognized for their invaluable support.

Some of the highlights of this year’s calendar include:

  • Multiple Community Events: A range of activities including a Church service (May 4), Cooler Fete (May 3), public discussions, school public speaking and spelling competitions (May 16), sports, clean-up initiatives, and more.

  • Tribute to Our Ancestors (May 31): Now in its second year, this event honours the legacy and contributions of those who paved the way for today’s generation. Presented by the Marigot History Working Group.
  • International Artist Night (May 31): The signature event of May Fest 2025 will light up the Marigot Fisheries with a powerhouse lineup led by Vincentian Soca sensation, Shertz James AKA Problem Child. Also hitting the stage are Edday, Asa Bantan, Signal Band, Litle Boy, Quan, alongside DJs Sleem, Athie, and Sexer — promising an electrifying night of entertainment. Tickets are now available at the

following outlets: Bullseye Pharmacy, Depex Color Lab, Country Style Bakery (Marigot and Canefield), and all Country Style bread depots around Roseau.

  • May Fest Survivor Challenge (June 1): Teams of 3 are invited to register for this adventurous team competition combining river tubing, kayaking, and hiking, guaranteed to deliver thrills and excitement.
