Antigua and Barbuda’s Minister of Creative Industries, Daryll Matthew, has praised Carnival 2025 as a “very successful” event, crediting years of planning and collaboration.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Matthew said the festival had benefitted from strong coordination between government agencies, media, corporate sponsors, and public support.
“This year’s celebration came together beautifully,” he said, highlighting high-quality music, vibrant pageantry, and record-breaking attendance.
He pointed to the community’s strong involvement as a key highlight, particularly the unexpectedly large turnout at the Calypso Semi-Finals.
“We turned it into a ‘cooler fete’ like the Party Monarch semis, and the response was astonishing,” he noted.
While crowd favourites like the Melting Pot remained popular, Matthew said he was especially encouraged by support for the Calypso Monarch competition, calling it a sign that “Calypso is alive and well.”

Carnival 2025 proved that when government, private partners, and the people come together, we can produce world-class events. Hats off to Minister Matthew for championing culture the right way.
Came home for Carnival for the first time in 5 years, zero regrets. Events were well-run, vibes were on point. Proud of where we’re headed!
Carnival was a success but the route for the parade on the last day (Carnival Tuesday) needs to be reversed back to what it was before ….
