The festival
Founded in 2001 by novelist Colin Channer, poet Kwame Dawes and producer Justine Henzell, the Calabash International Literary Festival is a three-day festival of reading and music in Treasure Beach, on the south coast of Jamaica. After ten annual editions and a biennial rhythm, it now takes place in odd years, and all its activities are free and open to the public. The official website already displays a visual "Calabash 2027".
