Annual Moonsplash Music Festival
Takes place at the Dune Preserve on Rendezvous Bay, normally around the first full moon before Easter. This event hosts the concerts from Anguilla’s very own Bankie Banx, featuring internationally acclaimed and regional recording artists from around the world.
Mark your calendars for March 22nd – 24th, because Anguilla’s legendary music festival is returning, and it’s bringing the heat (and the beat)! Imagine this: swaying palm trees, toes sinking into warm sand, and the sweet sounds of reggae, soca, and island fusion filling the air. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, dream no more, because Moonsplash is making it a reality.
This year’s lineup is hotter than a habanero pepper on a scorcher day. We’re talking reggae royalty The Legendary Wailers, keeping the spirit of Bob Marley alive. Protoje, the Grammy-nominated maestro, will drop conscious lyrics and infectious rhythms like it’s nobody’s business. And let’s not forget Bankie Banx, the godfather of Anguillian music, himself! He’ll be gracing the stage with his iconic tunes, ready to get the party started.
But wait, there’s more! The festival kicks off with a Kickoff Cocktail featuring local talent, setting the stage for an epic weekend. Craving a reggae night? Protoje has you covered. Feeling nostalgic? The Legendary Wailers will transport you back to reggae’s golden era. And for a day filled with sun-soaked fun, a Jimmy Buffett tribute will have you singing along and soaking up the good vibes. The grand finale? Mighty Mystic and The Moonsplash Allstars will bring the house down with an unforgettable closing act.
Moonsplash isn’t just about the music (although let’s be honest, that’s pretty darn amazing). It’s about the experience. Picture yourself chilling on the beach with a rum punch in hand, making new friends from all over the world, and dancing under the stars until the moon dips below the horizon. It’s about creating memories that will last a lifetime, the kind that makes you smile just thinking about them.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your dancing shoes, your beachwear, and your adventurous spirit, and head to Anguilla for Moonsplash 2024. It’s more than just a festival; it’s an invitation to a Caribbean dream come true. Don’t miss out on the chance to experience the magic!
