After days of paint, powder and non-stop revelry, Hookie Weekend 2026 is inviting guests to trade their road wear for refined attire when the Caribbean festival phenomenon enters into the weekend’s stylish segment with ‘After Dark’, ‘Havana Nights’ and ‘Oasis’.
From sweat to suit and from dutty to dressed-up, the weekend’s final 3 events offer patrons an opportunity to unwind, connect, and celebrate with fun themes and elevated fashion following the exhilarating energy of the festival’s signature road experiences.
After delivering what is sure to be unforgettable moments at the kick-off party ‘Release Therapy’, the neon-infused masquerade experience ‘Riddim & Glow’ and the wildly anticipated ‘Lion’s Pride J’ouvert’, Hookie Weekend shifts gears for a trio of premium events designed to showcase the versatility, sophistication, and lifestyle appeal that have become staples of the brand.

On Sunday June 21st, the elegance continues with another new addition to the line-up, Havana Nights, Hookie Weekend’s premium all-inclusive experience at the exclusive Arena Stage Terrace.

Oasis will deliver a relaxed atmosphere, great music and a community-focused vibe and provide the perfect opportunity for friends old and new to reflect on an unforgettable weekend while enjoying one last taste of the Hookie experience before returning home.
