IN THE FORM of a true fiesta, Jubilee Gardens in The City was transformed into a celebratory gala yesterday, dedicated to Barbados’ big 50th birthday celebrations.

The event, which attracted a large crowd, was held in association with the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) and Barbados’ 50th Anniversary of Independence Celebrations Secretariat.

As three dance groups made their way along the busy Broad Street stretch towards Jubilee Gardens, the tuk band drummed up a steady rhythm that worked those from ADL, Multifarious and Diversity dance groups into a frenzy.

Many onlookers converged on the pathways to look at the big hype in the hot midday sun. (MR)
