CARIB Joins the Celebration: Official Partner for St Pauls Carnival 2026

Following the vibrant success of Back A Yard 2025, we’re proud to announce that CARIB is now an official partner of St Pauls Carnival 2026!

CARIB, a symbol of Caribbean pride and flavour, made a big impression at this year’s Back A Yard events. With their bold presence and unmistakable taste, they captured the hearts (and taste buds) of Carnival-goers and the feedback was clear: people wanted more. We listened.

In 2026, CARIB will be fully on board as we bring Carnival back to the streets of Bristol. Their involvement is more than sponsorship - it’s a powerful expression of cultural unity, shared values, and community support. As one of the Caribbean’s most iconic beer brands, CARIB represents celebration, togetherness, and authentic island vibes. These values align perfectly with the heart of our Carnival.

Ricardo Sharry, Trustee at St Pauls Carnival, said:

“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome CARIB as an official partner for 2026. They’ve shown genuine support, not just through sponsorship, but by truly understanding and investing in the values and future of our community. This partnership is about more than logos and products. It’s about shared heritage, cultural pride, and the power of unity.”

The timing couldn’t be better. As we look ahead to 2026, we are ramping up efforts to secure over £450,000 in funding to ensure we can deliver a safe, sustainable, and spectacular Carnival. CARIB’s support strengthens this mission and helps us keep this vital cultural tradition alive and thriving for generations to come.

Now available on tap in the UK, CARIB is deepening its roots across Britain while proudly staying true to its Caribbean soul. Partnering with St Pauls Carnival reflects their commitment to uplifting Caribbean communities across the diaspora.

Carielle Monsegue, Market Development Manager for CARIB International UK, shared:

“Partnering with St Pauls Carnival is a celebration of who we are. The energy, the music, the food, the people! It’s everything CARIB stands for. As we grow in the UK, we’re proud to support a movement that champions the culture and heritage we hold dear.”

This exciting partnership also plays a key role in the growth of Carnival 365 - our year-round cultural programme rooted in community, connection, and creativity. With CARIB joining the Carnival family, 2026 is already shaping up to be one for the history books.

Stay tuned. The Caribbean vibes just got even stronger.
