Grenada’s premier Valentine’s Day celebration, Love Fest, is set to deliver an unforgettable musical experience on February 14, 2026, at the scenic Quarantine Point Recreational Park. The festival has confirmed legendary Antiguan Soca band Burning Flames as its headline act, alongside a diverse lineup of Caribbean talent that promises to transform the picturesque peninsula into a vibrant cultural hub.
Adding significant star power to the event, Reggae artist and actor Matthew Malcolm—known for his appearance in the 2024 Bob Marley biopic ‘One Love’—joins the roster, enhancing the festival’s cross-cultural appeal. This strategic addition reflects Love Fest’s commitment to showcasing both established regional entertainers and Grenadian performers.
Now firmly established on Grenada’s annual events calendar, the festival will feature five live acts spanning multiple genres including Soca, Reggae, Soul, Pop, R&B, and traditional steelpan performances. The complete lineup includes Sabrina Francis with the Treehouse Band, Rita & Ultimate Perfections Band, and the River Road Pan Wizards steel orchestra, complemented by DJ sets from Turbo, Graphix Sound, and Fearless Kevon.
Festival Director Chrislyn Lashington emphasized the event’s evolving creative vision: ‘Love Fest continues to grow as a space where music, culture, and genuine connection converge. By welcoming regional entertainers alongside our Grenadian stars, we present a program that honors our rich Caribbean musical heritage while creating new cultural dialogues.’
Beyond the musical performances, Love Fest 2026 will offer immersive lifestyle experiences including chocolate-making workshops, candle-making sessions, a curated food village, specialty cocktail bars, and thoughtfully designed décor that enhances the open-air waterfront setting. The event caters to individuals, couples, and groups seeking a distinctive Valentine’s celebration.
Produced by Upstage, the festival is extending its impact through educational initiatives that facilitate cultural exchanges between visiting artists and Grenadian creatives and students. These programs encourage artistic development, cross-cultural understanding, and professional growth opportunities for emerging talents.
The event enjoys support from multiple partners including the Lashington Agency, Grenada Office of Creative Affairs, Netherlands Insurance, Sunrise Airways, and the Grenada Tourism Authority, among others. Tickets are available through various physical outlets including Grenadian Optical, Esther’s Bar, and Kalico Supermarkets, as well as online via Eventbrite and Go2Fete.com.
