The Grenada Cultural Foundation (GCF) is proud to announce the annual Aunty Tek Spice Word Festival, taking place from October 13 to 18, 2025. This year’s theme, ‘Echoes of our History and Culture,’ underscores the festival’s mission to celebrate Grenada’s rich linguistic and cultural heritage through a series of engaging events tailored for students and the broader community. The festival aims to highlight the power of words, both written and spoken, while fostering a deeper connection to Grenada’s traditions. Student-focused activities include a Short Story Writing Competition open to primary, secondary, and tertiary students, as well as theatrical productions like ‘Confessions: The Tale of Two Fishermen,’ a Grenadian folklore presentation by La Boucan Creative Centre. Additionally, special presentations by Richardo Keens-Douglas and book reading sessions at primary schools will further enrich the experience. Public events feature a Round Table Discussion on ‘Grenadian Folklore: Its Relevance and Meaning’ and an Open Mic Night for local poets and storytellers. Parish-based activities will also showcase community performances, including storytelling, poetry, and drumming. The GCF encourages widespread participation in this vibrant celebration of Grenadian culture.
