Climate and Nature

Summer in Haiti, which runs from June to August, is characterized by high temperatures, often around 30 degrees Celsius, and palpable humidity. The sun reigns supreme, offering long and bright days. Haiti’s beaches, such as Labadee, Cormier, Pointe sable, Raymond les Bains and Moulin Sur Mer, become paradises of white sand and turquoise waters, attracting locals and tourists seeking relaxation and aquatic fun.

The north coast, spearhead of summer destinations, offers total immersion in a postcard setting. Cap-Haïtien, the undisputed queen of vacations, exudes the joy of living. On its fine sandy beaches, families and friends come together for wild games of beach soccer, deliciously refreshing baths or pure moments of relaxation, lulled by the sea breeze.

Further south, adventure lovers will be charmed by the steep hiking trails that crisscross the majestic mountains. An idyllic escape into the freshness of the undergrowth, interspersed with crystal-clear waterfalls where you can cool off.

The country’s lush green mountains and rainforests provide a refreshing contrast. Hikes through the winding trails of La Visite National Park or Massif de la Hotte reveal rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes, from hidden waterfalls to panoramic views.

Culture and Festivities

Summer is also a time of festivities and cultural celebrations in Haiti. Breathtaking festivities await visitors, starting with the legendary SumFest. This unmissable event brings together the big names of the Haitian music scene for a weekend of pure madness, all bathed in an idyllic setting by the sea.

But the star attraction undoubtedly remains the Carnival of Flowers, generally celebrated in the bustling streets of Port-au-Prince. Inspired by the traditional carnival but adapted to the summer season, this thrilling event makes the capital vibrate with electrifying energy. Dancers, musicians and artists converge from the four corners of the country for a veritable surge of colors, intoxicating rhythms and contagious jubilation.

Music, the true soul of Haitian culture, resonates with increased intensity during the summer. Lively konpa, hypnotic rara and other traditional and contemporary genres invade the streets, beaches and clubs in a supercharged atmosphere. Music festivals, such as the prestigious Port-au-Prince International Jazz Festival, attract world-renowned artists and fans from all walks of life, eager to immerse themselves in this unique musical excitement.

Gastronomy

Summer is also a feast for the taste buds in Haiti. Local markets are full of seasonal tropical fruits like mangoes, papayas, avocados and passion fruit. Haitians enjoy traditional dishes such as griot (marinated and fried pork), acra and tassot. Refreshing drinks like sugarcane juice, iced papaya and Barbancourt rum are a must to quench thirst under the summer sun.

Tradition and Spirituality

Summer is also a time of deep spirituality for many Haitians. On July 16, the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is celebrated with fervor, particularly in Saut-d’Eau, a famous pilgrimage site. Thousands of worshipers gather to honor the Virgin Mary, participating in Vodou and Catholic rituals in a unique symbiosis of beliefs.

Summer in Haïti is a rich sensory and emotional experience. It is a season when the natural beauty of the country, the human warmth of its people and the depth of its culture are fully revealed.

Petit-Goave, Haiti: Decryption of the 3rd rara weekend!

It is more and more obvious that in Petit-Goave the media space is absorbed by the rivalry between Ratyèfè, triple champions and lambi gran lambi dlo, a former champion. The past weekend was once again irrefutable proof of the media tension over these two rival bands. With a carnival-like appearance, the fan club of the first dressed in a white shirt, short orange-yellow skirt, purple tie, black boot; the other dressed in a traditional hat, yellow jersey, red pants, red or yellow tennis shoes. This marriage of colors with the taste of carnival is the expression of cultural diversity as La Fontaine said in his book tales and short stories "diversity is my motto." This formula can adapt well to the rara. If it is true in Léogane this marriage of color has existed for ages. It is no less true that this was the case in Petit-Goave because we had to wait for the strong return of Ratyèfè in 2018 to see the rara fan clubs dress differently each new weekend. Last Saturday more than one expected a new face to face between Lambi gran dlo and Ratyèfè because the latter weighed anchor in the direction of the 2nd plain and the latter, in the direction of the city center. Less than in any other circumstance, this duel at the top was obvious. If for some comments it was a favorable opportunity for Lambi to take his revenge on his rival compared to the previous weekend because he had done the profile although he had the advantage because he was two against one. (Lambi,chenn tamarin vs Ratyèfè). This enormous advantage did not work in their favor because the hours that had passed worked against them, as proof they had gone to sleep while ratyèfè remained to play for at least 30 more rounds. Surprisingly but not surprisingly during the meeting long awaited by less than one, at the Acul not far from the Saint Jean-Baptiste church, lambi had decided not to play anymore. However, according to the customs and costumes of the rara when there are two bands, the one who stops playing first, shows weakness and surrender. Consequently, the other who is opposite out of decency and good morals has no other choice to do the same. It follows that for the umpteenth time the great power formation (lambi grand dlo) was unable to take revenge on its rival. For many cultural journalists who were present to witness this event did not have their tongue in their pocket to give their impression of Ratyèfè’s monster performance. This is the case for Brignol, a cultural commentary which wondered if Ratyèfè had the devil in his body so that the most incredulous were in their feeling of joy. On Sunday evening this monster of animation once again made its mark in the art of its know-how. This is what explains the almost unanimity among the cultural journalists of Petit-Goâve in granting first place to this band for its performance and its musical discipline. So, for this weekend according to the circle of cultural journalists of Petit-Goave and with the approval of many other cultural comments. We have the following classification: 1st Ratyèfè 2nd Grap Kenèp 3rd Orgueil de la jeunesse
