CaribFest is Hampton Roads’ signature Caribbean celebration, proudly rooted in Norfolk at Town Point Park. Since its inception around 2006 by founder Michael C. Forde, CaribFest has grown into a community-wide event drawing tens of thousands of attendees. The festival showcases Caribbean culture through music, food vendors, vibrant parade energy, and immersive experiences like the Caribbean Block Party and parade of bands. For 2025, CaribFest returns with a blockbuster lineup and a full weekend of activities across September 26–27. Security, accessibility, and smooth ticketing are a priority, and tickets are available online via Eventbrite through the official festival site.
