The weekend of cultural entertainment at the annual Oistins Fish Festival continues today in Christ Church.
Stall with plants, food, toys, jewellery and just about everything to satisfy every need, have taken up the sidewalks as owners have sought to cash in on sales as thousands of people are expected to attend the event today.
The festival was officially opened yesterday and will climax tomorrow with boat-racing, a tug-of-war between Oistins and Silver Sands fishermen; a display by the Barbados Landship; the road tennis final; the dolphin-skinning competition; and the fish-boning contest.
