WATO - Dominica's Food Festival
About this event


"All online prices in USD"


WATO, meaning fire in the Kalinago language, is Dominica’s only outdoor cooking experience. Buy your tickets, get your ingredient box, and come indulge in tradition while enjoying live cultural performances and bites from top regional chefs.

This year’s theme, "Fanmi" (Family), celebrates the warmth of family—by blood, by bond, by fire.


Whether you’re reconnecting or re-rooting, this is your space.
Pull up with your people. Feed the fire. Feel the roots.
WATO hits different when the whole yard shows up.
