The World Creole Music Festival 2025 (WCMF) was pure fire from start to finish. Held from October 24 to 26 at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium in Roseau, Dominica, this year marked the 25th anniversary, celebrated under the theme “Global Echoes of the Nature Island: Celebrating 25 Years of Creole Music, Magic, and Memories.
The weekend was terrific, with three nights of top artists and great performances. The crowd enjoyed bouyon, cadence-lypso, zouk, reggae, dancehall, soca, and afrobeats. After 25 years, WCMF has shown again why it is one of the best music festivals in the Caribbean, the festival that never sleeps.
