Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority Announces Launch of Beach 366 in Conjunction with Cricket World Cup Festivities
Sir Vivian Richards Stadium will be home of Beach 366
In a unique blend of celebration and sportsmanship, Antigua and Barbuda is proud to announce the creation of the world’s first Leap Year Beach ‘Beach 366’ set to be officially unveiled at the Sir Vivan Richards stadium, in alignment with the cricket World Cup festivities this June. This innovative initiative not only celebrates those born on February 29th but also highlights Antigua and Barbuda’s rich cricketing heritage and its role as a premier destination for cricket enthusiasts from around the globe.
Acknowledging the oversight of not having a beach for leap year babies, despite boasting one beach for every day of the year, Antigua and Barbuda has gone a step further by tying the launch of ‘Beach 366’ to the excitement of the cricket World Cup. This strategic move underlines the islands’ commitment to sports and celebration, offering both leap year babies and cricket fans a new venue to enjoy unforgettable moments.
“The launch of Beach 366 during the cricket World Cup is more than just an addition to the islands’ already impressive array of beaches; it’s a celebration of community, sport, and the unique quirks of the calendar. Antigua and Barbuda extend a warm invitation to cricket fans, leap year babies, and travellers from all walks of life to join in this one-of-a-kind event for 2024. Get ready to be captivated by exciting cricket, while enjoying the vibes and exclusiveness of Beach 366”, said CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, Colin C. James.
In celebration of this momentous year, visitors to Beach 366 can expect a host of special perks, including:
- Cricket-themed events; Engage in a series of cricket-related activities and pop-up events at Beach 366, celebrating the sport's rich legacy in the Caribbean.
- Special Treatment for Leap Year Babies; Those born on February 29th will receive exclusive benefits, such as fast track service at the airport* and special recognition during the World Cup festivities.
- A Celebration of Sport and Community: Join locals and visitors alike in a vibrant display of Antiguan and Barbudan culture, with food, music, and sportsmanship.
With the cricket World Cup as the backdrop, Beach 366 is set to become a new landmark for sports and celebration in the Caribbean. This leap year, experience the best of cricket, culture, and community in Antigua and Barbuda.
