Moon Splash 2013 Music Festival - Anguilla
2/4/2013 - By ANGUILLA TOURIST BOARD
February 21 – 24 24th
Annual Moonsplash Festival
Takes place at the Dune Preserve on Rendezvous Bay, normally around the first full moon before Easter. The concerts are hosted by Anguilla’s very own Bankie Banx, featuring internationally-acclaimed and regional recording artiste from around the world. 8:00 pm – until)
Delighting crowds with his rockin’ reggae for nearly three decades, Bankie Banx is also the heart and soul of Moonsplash – the longest running independent music festival in the Eastern Caribbean held every year under the full moon in March. “Moonsplash is an intimate festival because our stage is a traditional Anguillan wooden boat.” Bankie says enjoying breakfast at the CuisinArt Resort, a festival sponsor next to his Dune Bar. “I like to call our crowd a ‘salt and pepper’ audience because we get a great mix of locals and tourists of all ages who book early and come back every year.”
For more than two decades, Moonsplash has attracted superstars like Jimmy Buffett who played to thousands during Moonsplash 2007. “While Anguilla continues to encourage the traveller in search of true respite, “says Marie Walker, tourism director, North America, ”she occasionally throws in something extra spicy like our Moonsplash event to get the juices going.”
