BREAKING: Antigua and Barbuda Junior Carnival Postponed to Wednesday Due to Severe Weather

2026 JUNIOR CARNIVAL RESCHEDULED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

The Antigua and Barbuda Festivals Commission wishes to advise the general public that, due to the

prevailing inclement weather and thunderstorm activity, Junior Carnival scheduled for today,

Sunday, 26 July 2026, has been rescheduled.

Following careful consideration of the current and anticipated weather conditions, including the

impact of continued rainfall on the parade route and surrounding areas, the Commission has

determined that proceeding with the event today would not be in the best interest of the children,

participants, parents, spectators and the wider public.

The safety and well-being of our children and the public remain our highest priority.

Accordingly, the Commission has taken the prudent decision to reschedule the children’s Junior

Carnival to Wednesday, 29 July 2026, commencing at 1:00 p.m.

We recognize the significant preparation undertaken by parents, children, mas’ groups, organizers

and other stakeholders and regret any inconvenience caused by this unavoidable change. We thank

everyone for their patience, understanding and cooperation as we take the necessary precautions in

the interest of public safety.

The Antigua and Barbuda Festivals Commission looks forward to welcoming our children and the

wider public on Wednesday for a safe and enjoyable Junior Carnival.
