Goombay is a Caribbean music festival that was first held in Pensacola on April 28, 2007 in the Belmont DeVilliers 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.
