Ti-Vilaj Kwéyòl 2023

Ti-Vilaj Kwéyòl presents an excellent opportunity for locals and visitors alike to convene and celebrate various aspects of our culture and traditions. With the support of various strategic public and private sector partners, this four-day event seeks to compliment the flagship World Creole Music Festival, as it reverts to the original vision of a daytime event that showcases exclusively local talent and performances, everything that makes us uniquely Dominican.  Additionally, and in keeping with the theme Tout Biten Domnik, the event will highlight all of Dominica’s locally produced products by presenting a readily available market for them and showcasing everything that is made in Dominica. The intention is to create a lively venue for showcasing our cultural traditions, art, fashion, dance, music, food and beverages, products, and agriculture. It will be an opportunity for visitors and residents to enjoy all these aspects as well as shop for locally made products.

The objectives of TVK are as follows:

1. To highlight Dominica’s unique culture, food, dance and music.
2. To provide a centralized location for experiencing Dominica’s culture and products.
3. To provide a space for visitors and residents to recreate and mingle during the day.

Event Format

Ti Vilaj Kwéyòl is a 4-day event which celebrates everything Dominican (food, drink, music, fashion, art, craft, culture, and tradition) in an ultimate and true Dominican style while promoting small businesses, entrepreneurship, quality, sustainability, and taste to patrons.  The event will also serve as a demonstration of a thoughtful showcase of innovation and progression of Agri-trade and tourism during Dominica’s biggest festive season.

The event will incorporate an assortment of daily themes in keeping with the “Ti Vilaj Kwéyòl! Tout Biten Domnik” campaign and will provide a platform for local artists to showcase their talent, as well as an opportunity to share and preserve seemingly endangered traditions, to a very large and diverse audience.

The event will showcase Dominica’s most innovative small businesses, building up from the Business-to-Business Forum recently held to continue to create awareness to the locals and for exposure and business opportunities from the returning Dominican’s and visitors.
