SANDY POINT St. Kitts, March 31, 2011 - Sandy Point is the place to be this weekend (April 1-3) for the official launch of the much-anticipated community festival, Black San’ Bang-a-lang!
Upper Station Street will come alive with a soft opening, highlighting the events and offering parade and j’ouvert packages. The pre-event will be a small taste of what the public could expect at the three-week long festival set for April 1-25. It’s a nice lime at Bang-a-lang Avenue, as it is dubbed for the festival. The night climaxes with the sounds of Xtortion Sounds and the sensational Kollision Band.
On Saturday, April 2, it’s time to rev up the old engine and join in for the new, never-before-tried Tractorcade! Led by Mixklusiv International, Saturday’s street jam will pull together the idea of a motorcade and the centuries-old procession of the gang returning from a bountiful harvest - a festive mix you dare not miss! The colorful tractorcade will boast the best produce and animals from the community’s farmers and will spread the message ‘Buy Local, Eat Local’.
Junior SPIRIT also has an impressive, dangling prize for members who join the tractorcade in the wackiest Farmer Brown costume! Whether it be an overall, muddy boots or at simplest, a straw hat, make sure you come out and join in the fun! The event climaxes at the Sandy Point market for an afternoon of games, story telling and an open-air feast of local dishes. The event will also highlight a Farmers Recognition Award, in association with Sandy Point Agricultural Cooperative Society (SPACS).
Sunday (April 3) will set the stage for prayer and thanksgiving, as SPIRIT, parent organization of the festival, has calendared the day as Black San’s official day of church. SPIRIT invites members of the public to join them in celebration of the new festival at the St. Anne’s Anglican Church or acknowledge the day as one on which to support their own church. Service begins at 9:00am.
