Pinky Bloom, Petit-Canal (Grande-Terre) April 21th 2024

The Pinky Bloom festival is much more than just an event; it's a music celebration dedicated to women, while honoring the gentlemen who support them.

Inspiring speeches, local artists, interventions from dedicated associations, and a variety of satellite events will enhance the Pinky Bloom experience.

Approximately 2,500 festival-goers are expected from the Caribbean, USA, Canada, and European countries. Pinky Bloom also involves over 15 associations committed to women's causes. The first commitment is made to the Amazones association, with a portion of ticket sales proceeds dedicated to the construction of a nest dedicated to supporting women with cancer.
