Holetown Festival biggest ever

There has been no shortage of colour or costumes in this year’s Holetown Festival, and certainly no shortage of patrons and spectators.
Into its 35th year, the annual St James event, which began on February 13 and will end tomorrow, has attracted its biggest crowds yet.
“There have been more people this year than ever; all the shows have been packed as well as all the lectures,” public relations officer for the planning committee, Joan Hoffman said.
This morning’s highlight was a vintage car parade where classic vehicles rolled up and down Holetown.
This was followed by another parade featuring performances by Dancin’ Africa, the Barbados Cadet Corp, the Miss Holetown pageant queen and contestants, the Barbados Light & Power and various primary schools and camps. (CA)
