About this Event

Welcome to KokoFest, NYC's premier Caribbean cultural festival. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the New York City skyline, this is a vibrant, full-day outdoor celebration of culture, flavor, and rhythm that sells out every single year. From the moment you arrive, every sense is ignited: the pulse of live soca and dancehall, the movement of Caribbean Moko Jumbie stilt walkers, the aroma of handcrafted bites from some of NYC's most celebrated chefs, and the feeling of a community fully alive under the open sky.
