The Cayman Islands National Attractions Authority announced that Coco Fest, traditionally hosted in February at Pedro St. James, will not take place at all this year due to logistical and resource limitations.
In a press release the authority said, “The decision to postpone the event was made to allow sufficient time and capacity to ensure that Coco Fest continues to meet the high standards expected by the community, partners and stakeholders.”
Charles Clifford, board chairman, added, “While we understand that many look forward to Coco Fest each year, this decision allows us to step back, refine our planning and ensure that when the festival returns, it does so at the level of quality and experience our patrons expect.”
During this interim period, the authority said that it “will be investing time and resources to strengthen event planning and execution, ensuring that the festival recommences as a vibrant celebration that delivers joy, excitement and value for all involved”.
Acting Director John Lawrus added, “Our goal is to deliver events that create lasting enjoyment and value for the community, and this additional time will help us do just that.”
Coco Fest is scheduled to return in 2027, with planning efforts focused on delivering an enhanced and memorable experience.
The authority said that another popular event, Christmas at the Castle, remains on the planning schedule for this year, and additional information will be provided in due course.
