The Antigua and Barbuda Festivals Commission wishes to advise the general public that, due to the prevailing inclement weather and thunderstorm activity, Junior Carnival scheduled for today, Sunday, 26 July 2026, has been rescheduled.

Following careful consideration of the current and anticipated weather conditions, including the impact of continued rainfall on the parade route and surrounding areas, the Commission has determined that proceeding with the event today would not be in the best interest of the children, participants, parents, spectators and the wider public.

The safety and well-being of our children and the public remain our highest priority. Accordingly, the Commission has taken the prudent decision to reschedule the children’s Junior Carnival to Wednesday, 29 July 2026, commencing at 1:00 p.m.

We recognize the significant preparation undertaken by parents, children, mas’ groups, organizers and other stakeholders and regret any inconvenience caused by this unavoidable change. We thank everyone for their patience, understanding and cooperation as we take the necessary precautions in the interest of public safety.

The Antigua and Barbuda Festivals Commission looks forward to welcoming our children and the wider public on Wednesday for a safe and enjoyable Junior Carnival.
