THE FIRST CITIZENS Crop Over Opening Gala And Ceremonial Delivery Of The Last Canes is heading to the East to share the story of Barbados’ rich history.
After being held for the last few years in Bridgetown under the name City Fest, it is being staged at King George V Memorial Park in St Philip on June 24, under the theme: Iz We Story.
Speaking to reporters at the launch of the event at First Citizens’ Broad Street branch yesterday morning, senior event planner at the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) and Gala producer Karen Pestaina, said the NCF had received positive feedback surrounding the move.
She said that while they would have liked to host the event at a plantation house, the Park proved to be an adequate venue. (RB)
