The Oistins Fish Festival is a folk festival that has taken place in Oistins, Barbados every Easter since 1967.[1] The purpose of the festival is to acknowledge the people involved in the fishing industry.[2]
The name is expected to change in the 2020s, as Toni Thorne, chairman of the festival's organising committee, decided to change the name.[3]
Overview
[edit]The festival includes arts and crafts events, along with a greasy pole climbing competition.[2] The food and drinks served include fish, seafood, beer, fish cakes, pudding, and souse.[4][5]
