CARVEFEST – Embracing Culture – Sustainable Industry

A national woodcarving experience that brings Barbadian heritage to life - creating real opportunities for skills development, business growth, and sustainable livelihoods.

Hosted within AGROFEST, Barbados, CARVEFEST brings together master carvers, artisans, young apprentices, buyers, producers, and partner brands in one vibrant space. It’s where tradition meets opportunity - through live carving demonstrations using both hand tools and power tools, youth training experiences, meaningful conversations, and partnerships that help turn craft into lasting careers.
