Antigua & Barbuda Hamptons Festival & Regatta Opening Reception

The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority launched the Antigua & Barbuda Hamptons Festival & Regatta with an elegant evening reception at a private home in Wainscott on Thursday, August 11.

The evening was hosted by the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority in association with Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock-Morsch, owners of Hidden Gem, a beautifully curated home design and gift boutique in Southampton. The Willock sisters, both of Antiguan heritage, invited guests to be a part of the festivities by opening the residence to friends and fans of the twin island destination.

Among guests in attendance were James Larocca, Mayor of Sag Harbor; Dean Fenton, Director of Tourism for the ABTA; Noel Mignott, Founder and CEO of the PM Group and Theresa Roden, Founder of i-tri girls.

The evening marked the start of the four-day Antigua and Barbuda Hamptons Festival, and featured Antiguan cuisine, entertainment, and decor. The festival continued on Friday and Saturday at the John Steinbeck Waterfront Park, with music, entertainment, and lots of family fun activities.  The highlight of the Festival is the annual Hamptons Challenge Regatta on Saturday, which attracted around 20 boats this year, competing for the biggest sailing prize in the Northeast, an all-expenses paid trip for the Captain and Crew to race in the legendary 2023 Antigua Sailing Week.
