About this Event
Friday, September 25, 2026 · 6:00–9:00 PM
Golden Hour · Level 8, Moxy Hotel · Downtown Los Angeles
The CARICON Prize Weekend opens where the city meets the sky.
Join us at Golden Hour, the rooftop lounge on Level 8 of the Moxy Hotel, for the welcome cocktail that sets the tone for three days of Caribbean literary celebration. This is the first gathering of the weekend — the writers, the readers, the publishers, and the community, together as the sun goes down over Downtown LA.
Come meet the people you'll spend the weekend with before the ceremonies begin. No program, no podium — just good company, Caribbean warmth, and the start of something.
Free to attend · Cash bar
RSVP required — space on the rooftop is limited.
The Welcome Cocktail is included with the CARICON Weekend Pass. Reserve the full weekend at awards.cari-con.org.
