The Anguilla Summer Festival Committee has coordinated the carnival and boatracing activities since 1997, under the banner “Anguilla Summer Festival”. Organizers promise residence and visitors a fun filled and exciting eleven days of celebration garnished with traditional Anguillian hospitality. Summer Festival on Anguilla is a typical Caribbean emancipation celebration, it has been occurring on t

he island for over a quarter century. It’s roots however, are found in the decades of old traditional August Monday fairs, Bazaars and the old time Christmas festivities, which features many African influenced cultural expressions of island life. These activities were organized by the churches and featured wirewalkers, May pole dancers, Mock-a-Jumbies and games among other things. Today’s festivities still exude the same charm and spirit of those early days of festivities. Carnival as we know it today is a reflection of a typical contemporary Caribbean Carnivals. The Anguilla Summer Festival Committee’s goal is to revive the traditional art forms and merge them with our modern prospective of mass playing and cultural extravaganzas. The Anguilla Summer Festival events feature musical spectaculars, the grand parade of troupes, J’ouvert, Miss Anguilla Pageant, Prince & Princess Pageant Jr. & Senior calypso, Ms. This much sought after competition will celebrate its sixteenth anniversary this year. All these activities take place at the Landsome Bowl Cultural Centre. Ex-site of the Wardens residence with was destroyed in the 1967 revolution. Anguilla Summer Festival focuses on August Monday, which is the first Monday of August, August Monday officially began to be celebrated in 1940 with boatracing. This sport has been merged with the cultural aspects of carnival, which is now known as Summer Festival. Unlike most of the Anglophile Caribbean islands where cricket is the national sport, boatracing has outdone cricket as the favorite national pastime for Anguillians, boatracing is a tradition that dated back many generations prior to 1940. The art of Boatracing was born out of the Anguillians’ natural love for and dependence of the sea. Also, the hardships of life, which where symbolic of the struggle for basic survival between Anguillians’ and there almost desert terrain habitat further, cemented this love for the sea.
