Band Clash Anguilla in Landsome Bowl Cultural Centre
Rival costumed bands face off in a bass-heavy musical and visual showdown at Landsome Bowl each August 1st, a Carnival event pitched squarely at locals first and visitors second, judged on both sound and spectacle. a celebration deliberately pitched at Anguillians themselves rather than at the tourists the island otherwise welcomes.
By the time August arrives, much of Anguilla has quietly wound down, hotels easing off, restaurants taking a breath after the busier tourist months.
