Where: Grace Bay Strip

Why It’s Considered One of the Best Winter Events in Providenciales | What to Expect:

While the idea of Boxing Day typically conjures up images of leftover Turkey and long lineups at crowded malls, in Turks and Caicos, December 26th is marked with a colourful, musical parade and street party called Maskanoo

Starting in the late afternoon and extending into the late evening, Grace Bay strip features entertainment, shop vendors, food stalls and plenty of activities for all ages to enjoy. 

On the evening of December 26th, islanders of all ages parade down Grace Bay Strip, playing drums and music while dressed in colourful costumes and headdresses. It’s like a mini Mardis Gras, Caribbean style! 

Following the parade, many local bars and restaurants extend the celebrations with great food and live music that carries into the wee hours. 

The spirit and all-ages fun of Maskanoo makes it one of the best winter events in Providenciales to experience as a family!

New Year’s Eve 

When: December 31 at midnight

Where: Throughout Providenciales

Why It’s Considered One of the Best Winter Events in Providenciales | What to Expect:

New Year’s Eve in Turks and Caicos offers tons of fun and festivities for all ages to enjoy together! 

For Catholic locals, New Year’s Eve in Turks and Caicos kicks of with Old Year’s Night: an island tradition that includes church services and the ringing of church bells for good luck and blessings in the new year. 

Local restaurants throughout Providenciales host their own New Year’s Eve parties with live music, food and drink specials, beach bonfires, dancing in the sand and more. 

Ricky’s on the Beach (otherwise known as Flamingo Cafe) is known for hosting the island’s best New Year’s Eve countdown and bonfire beach party, complete with a live DJ and dancing in the sand. 

Finally, at the stroke of midnight, visitors and locals alike, gather together to enjoy a fabulous fireworks display, put on by many resorts along Grace Bay Beach. The fireworks can be seen from either end of the island, and Ricky’s on the beach makes a great vantage point. 

New Year’s Eve in Turks and Caicos is a memorable experience that’s hard to match elsewhere!
