The Turks and Caicos International Music Festival is officially back for 2025—and it’s coming back bigger than ever. Set for July 31 to August 3, the four-day event promises a high-energy blend of live music, cultural experiences, beauty pageantry, and sports, spread across multiple venues on Providenciales.
Organizers have confirmed a stacked lineup of performances spanning reggae, soca, afrobeats, and rake-and-scrape, with both international stars and homegrown talent taking the stage. So far, Kes the Band has been announced as a headliner, with more acts expected to be revealed soon.
But the music is just part of the story.
The weekend also features the Miss Universe Turks & Caicos Pageant, spotlighting local women and cultural pride, and the inaugural Trevor Ariza Celebrity Golf Tournament, bringing together athletes, celebrities, and local golfers for a charity-driven 18-hole scramble.
“This isn’t just a weekend—it’s a movement,” said Minister of Tourism Zhavargo Jolly, who described the festival as a fusion of “music, pageantry, sport, culture, and charity. One country. One cause. One moment in history.”
