This weekend blends sailing excitement with community spirit as Bart’s Bash, Saturday Sailing, and the Mini Regatta take center stage. Saturday begins at the National Sailing Academy, where Bart’s Bash—the world’s largest sailing race honoring Olympian Andrew “Bart” Simpson—runs alongside Saturday Sailing. With entry at just $25 and free for Saturday Sailors, the event promises a lively mix of experienced racers and enthusiastic beginners, all sailing for both cause and camaraderie.
The action continues Sunday at the Antigua Yacht Club with the Mini Dinghy Regatta, doubling as the CDC Qualifier, where sailors compete for a spot to represent Antigua at the Caribbean Dinghy Championships in October. Beyond the water, Antigua buzzes with happenings: Le Bistro returns, The Fox House reopens, Lite N’Eze unveils its new S3 concept, and Sheer Rocks partners with Blue Waters Resort for a three-day Summer Weekend of food, music, and style.
From rum tastings and wellness walks to cruise tourism talks and yacht showcases, the island’s calendar is sizzling with culture, cuisine, and celebration.
