Red Sky at Night | Saturday 29 February | 4pm – midnight

The anchor event for Cayfest, Red Sky at Night, is a favourite of participants and attendees alike. Each year patrons are treated to live performances from musicians, dancers, actors and storytellers, as well as displays of creative work by visual artists and artisans, all on the grounds of the F.J. Harquail Cultural Centre. Visitors revel in a sensory filled experience at this multi–disciplined arts fair, as the sounds of steel pan, fiddle and drums, and the aroma of mouthwatering local culinary delicacies waft on the night air.

Save the date for our annual ‘dress up, dress down’ fundraiser.
Each year schools, businesses and individuals across the Cayman Islands are invited to get creative and display their homeland pride and cultural attire on one day.
Apart from raising cultural awareness and celebrating diversity, the monies collected via donations from the participants in Dress for Culture Day are allocated to various Youth at Arts youth programmes.
