Live music on the island that rocks…
“Fabulous music” “Something for everyone!”
“Unique atmosphere - intimate and friendly”
22 years ago the Bequia Tourism Association launched its first-ever “Music Fest” when then BTA Chairperson Patricia Mitchell invited Basil Charles’ Mustique Blues Festival to perform in Bequia for one glorious night of music.
From there the hunger for the event just grew and grew: Each year, Bequia and its visitors could not wait to experience the amazing live performances from world class musicians in Bequia’s unique, intimate settings.
In 2004 the Bequia Music Fest was born. A wide range of international, regional and local artistes of all musical genres have been invited to the event in the ensuing years, bringing an unrivalled feast of entertainment to the island’s residents and visitors. Like their audience, the musicians all fall in love with Bequia’s laidback vibe and off beat charm, and marvel at the warmth of the welcome they receive from everyone they meet.
Today the Bequia Tourism Association, with its Musicfest Committee continue the tradition. Bequia Musicfest has grown into one of the hottest and coolest live music festivals in the region.
INTIMATE
Bequia is so small that you will be rubbing shoulders with all who attend the gigs. The venues are small yet roomy enough for you to get a clear and intimate view of the performers.
FRIENDLY
The people of Bequia will give you a warm welcome; making you feel relaxed and amped up all at once! And when not watching a performance look around...you're in paradise!
Huge thanks
to all our sponsors
