Thousands expected as Grenada Diaspora Homecoming 2026 returns with island-wide events
The two-week homecoming will feature cultural events, business forums and community initiatives across Grenada, as organisers target stronger diaspora ties and increased economic activity.
Grenada Diaspora Homecoming 2026 will bring together Grenadians from across the world for two weeks of cultural, social, and economic events, aimed at strengthening connections with the homeland.
The event will take place from June 21 to July 5 and will feature a great variety of activities taking place in Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. Organizers explained that the homecoming is expected to help Diaspora connect with their roots, celebrate their heritage, and build new connections.
The Homecoming will feature cultural festivals, heritage tours, family days, community projects, and networking opportunities. Returning nationals will also be able to participate in discussions on national development and investment.
Many airlines have also introduced additional flight services from major air travel markets, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and across the Caribbean, in response to increased demand for travel by Grenadians living abroad during this festival.
