Festival-goers are crossing their fingers for this 7th edition, which features 24 hours of Afro-Caribbean music for one mega show.
No Baccha festival in 2021. The organizers prefer caution because of the pandemic. We understand the euphoria that fuels the organizers and festival-goers. Artistic life is back and the Baccha Festival gives itself the means to please the public.
