Ahead of one of the Caribbean’s most anticipated annual cultural celebrations, regional carrier Winair has launched an exclusive limited-time airfare discount scheme to boost visitor turnout for the 2026 World Creole Music Festival, the island’s flagship cultural event set to take place this October.
Through the new promotion, travelers booking eligible flights to Dominica can unlock a 65 percent discount on their base fares by entering the special promo code WM65YRS at checkout. The reduced fares apply to all travel completed between August 28 and October 31, 2026, aligning with the festival dates and allowing visitors to extend their stay on the island before or after the event. All interested travelers must finalize their bookings by August 27, 2026 to lock in the discount, and standard conditions apply: all relevant taxes and surcharges must be paid separately, and the offer is subject to Winair’s standard passenger terms and fare conditions.
This year’s edition of the World Creole Music Festival, branded “The Festival That Never Sleeps”, will run as a three-day immersive experience from October 23 to 25 at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium located in Roseau, Dominica’s capital. The festival is a cornerstone event of the island’s annual national Creole Heritage Month, which celebrates the deep shared cultural roots of Creole communities across the globe.
True to its reputation as a hub for Creole and African diasporic music, the 2026 lineup brings together a diverse roster of performers from four major regions: the broader Caribbean, the French Antilles, continental Africa, and North America. Attendees can expect a dynamic cross-genre musical program spanning beloved regional styles including cadence-lypso, kompa, zouk, bouyon, soukous, reggae, soca, dancehall, and the popular South African amapiano genre. Headlining the star-studded lineup is Grammy Award-winning American R&B singer and songwriter Ne-Yo, one of the most recognizable pop and R&B acts of the 21st century.
