Liberty Caribbean, the operators of Flow, Liberty Business and BTC, has reinforced its commitment to the Caribbean’s cultural and creative industries by providing over $125,000 in connectivity support to CARIFESTA XV, the region’s premier celebration of arts, culture, and identity.

Flow is the official telecoms provider of the CARIFESTA XV hosted in Barbados from August 22 to 31 under the banner ‘Caribbean Roots. Global Excellence’.

CARIFESTA XV will showcase the richness of Caribbean creativity through an extraordinary 10-day programme of music, visual and literary arts, culinary experiences, dance, theatre, fashion, film, and cultural dialogue.
