Got i-Land Fest Tabanca? We’ve got the cure!
In Caribbean culture, tabanca is a term originating in Trinidad & Tobago that describes that deep feeling of longing or heartbreak when you just can’t get over someone—or something.
After the first i-Land Fest in 2024, the Tabanca was real! People were already missing the soca, Carnival energy, community and vibes, so we created i-Land Fest Tabanca Fete to bring everyone back together.
Now in its third year, Tabanca is our annual post-i-Land Fest reunion—a night to reconnect, fete and bring back a little of that Carnival feeling we’ve all been missing.
This Year’s FeteGet ready for a night of soca, calypso, dancehall, reggae and more, with two special guest DJs flying in for Tabanca!
Date: Friday, October 23, 2026Time: 6:00 PM – 2:00 AMLocation: Black & Here Centre (1327 Douglas Street, Victoria)Guest DJs: Dawg E Slaughter + Astro
Caribbean food available for purchase while supplies last. Bar available throughout the night; card payment preferred.
