Kick off the festival weekend with the iconic Fish Fry, a beloved Turks and Caicos tradition that showcases the best of island culture. Stroll through rows of local vendors offering freshly caught seafood prepared in traditional island styles - from blackened mahi-mahi to conch fritters and lobster grilled to perfection.
Beyond the incredible food, the Fish Fry is a cultural immersion featuring local artisans displaying handcrafted jewelry, artwork, and souvenirs that capture the essence of the islands. As the sun sets, the atmosphere comes alive with the sounds of ripsaw music, rake 'n' scrape bands, and junkanoo performers creating an authentic Caribbean experience.
This family-friendly event is the perfect introduction to Turks and Caicos hospitality and sets the tone for an unforgettable festival weekend. Bring your appetite and your dancing shoes!
