No fetes or limes.
That is, if party promoters do not get the required licences or find the right locations before the Crop Over season officially starts Saturday, or ends in five weeks.
At a meeting last night at Copa, Bay Street, about 40 party promoters said some of them had advertised their fetes but hadn’t received the licences to party.
“We don’t want to cancel events, but it seems we have no choice,” said Kirk Phillips of Chelsea Boyz. So far that group has had to cancel its first fete last weekend because it did not have the paperwork.
Most promoters said they were frustrated because they were behind in the number of fetes or limes they would have held already.
Asked by the DAILY NATION for a show of hands of who had had licences granted, none was raised.
