Rating: 4.5 / 5

Gospelfest Barbados bills itself as the Caribbean's largest gospel music festival and has been a fixture on the island's calendar for more than three decades. Held around the Pentecost weekend in late May, the week-long programme combines mass choir concerts, Bajan gospel acts, top international artists and community services in venues island-wide. The festival draws thousands of worshippers and music lovers from Barbados, the wider Caribbean and the gospel diaspora, and has become a signature event for faith-based tourism to the island.
