The Barbados Holetown Festival is held in February of each year on the west coast of Barbados in the parish of St. James.

The week long event sees live orchestra's, dance performances, a beauty pageant, calypso steel bands, remembrance talks, an exhibition held in the Holetown Museum, bus tours, street parades and many stalls selling local art and craft, food and drinks.
This event is rich in culture celebrating both English and African heritage.
