The Taste of the Caribbean festival will return to Cassiobury Park in Watford, Hertfordshire, for a full day of food and live music on July 11, 2026. The event will run from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm and features more than 45 traders serving traditional dishes such as jerk chicken, curry goat, and plantain.
Music fans can watch performances by headline tribute acts including The Marley Experience and UB4D, alongside Dem Boyz and the Mangrove Steel Band Orchestra. Families attending the festival can also find fairground rides and cultural workshops near the Gade Avenue area of the park.
According to the organisers at Taste of the Caribbean, tickets for the festival are limited and entry is free for children under 14 years old as long as they are with an adult. Visitors are permitted to bring dogs to the event, but they must be kept on a short leash at all times.
Watford Borough Council is encouraging guests to use public transport, as parking in the streets surrounding the park will be strictly controlled. The Watford Metropolitan Station is the closest transport link and is located about a four-minute walk from the festival site.
