Rotary Club of Antigua is preparing for its 17th Colours event. This year, the theme is “Welcome to Smurf Village.”

The event will take place on Saturday, July 4, 2026. It will be held at Coolidge Cricket Ground.

Over time, Colours has become a leading charity event. In fact, it plays a key role in community support.

Importantly, proceeds fund several programmes. These include Meals on Wheels and youth development projects. In addition, funds support education and community health outreach.

This year, organisers have introduced a new format. The event will run from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. As a result, guests can enjoy both sunset and evening activities.

Moreover, the theme highlights unity and shared responsibility. Organisers say it reflects the need for collective action. At the same time, it uses a fun and creative concept.

Guests can expect an all-inclusive experience. For example, there will be premium drinks and a wide range of food. Additionally, a lively musical lineup will keep the energy high.

Attendees are also encouraged to dress the part. Specifically, blue, red, and white are the main colours. Furthermore, playful styles and patterns are welcome.

Over the years, the event has grown steadily. Organisers credit strong support from sponsors and partners. They also thank media houses and community stakeholders.

Because of this support, Colours remains consistent each year. More importantly, it continues to make a real impact.

While the event offers entertainment, it serves a bigger purpose. It blends fun with meaningful fundraising. Therefore, it supports communities across Antigua and Barbuda.

As Colours marks its 17th year, its mission stays clear. It aims to bring people together while helping others.

Finally, tickets are now available through the TickeTing App. All proceeds will support ongoing service projects.

Overall, the event promises a vibrant and purposeful experience for all who attend.
