Goombay is a Caribbean music festival that was first held in Pensacola on April 28, 2007 in the Belmont-De Villiers neighborhood.
Goombay has its roots in the Bermudan slavery era. It is named for a skin-covered drum called a "gombey." The celebration was brought to the United States in 1970 and has localized versions in South Florida and Asheville, North Carolina.
