The Nevis Tourism Authority is delighted to announce the return of The Nevis Mango Festival. The festival which was launched in 2014, will take place from June 30th to July 2nd with its core purpose being to celebrate the most beloved fruit.
Nevis – known affectionately as Queen of the Caribbean, is home to over 44 varieties of Mango and so it is most fitting that such a festival take place on the Island.
