Holders Season

Arts Festival · West Coast · St. James

Rating: 4.7 / 5

Holders Season is an acclaimed open-air performing arts festival staged each year on the lawns of historic Holders House in St. James, overlooking the polo field. Across several weeks of programming the festival presents opera, Shakespeare, classical music, world music, comedy and jazz under the stars, in a setting that has welcomed artists of the calibre of Luciano Pavarotti, Sir Elton John and Joseph Calleja in past editions. A distinctly elegant and atmospheric fixture on the Bajan cultural calendar, usually held in the cooler months.
