High season in Turks and Caicos runs roughly from January through March, with the usual extra-high rates during the Christmas and New Year's holiday period. Several hotels on Provo offer shoulder season rates in April and May. During the off-season, rates are reduced substantially, as much as 40%.
There are two major festivals in the Turks and Caicos. In summer, big names play at the annual Turks & Caicos Music and Cultural Festival usually held in August.
At the end of November, the Turks & Caicos Conch Festival offers native boat races, live music, and conch recipe competitions.
