Birmingham Caribbean Festival

Returning for 2015, this annual festival takes over Centenary Square with three days of food, entertainment and activities celebrating the best of the Caribbean. The sounds of steel pans, reggae music and a range of gospel choirs will fill the air, and food stands will be serving up dishes that include Jamaican jerk, rum punch and pizzas with a Caribbean twist. Visitors can also take part in arts and crafts workshops led by local artists, enter competitions, watch dance performances and witness part of a national gospel competition taking place this summer.
