Basseterre, St. Kitts (May 24, 2007): The tone for the 11th Annual St. Kitts Music Festival will be set on Friday as street promotions for the premiere summer event begin.
"Fort Street will be the venue for the first event which will feature live DJ music, exciting giveaways, models, refreshments and lots more," promised marketing and promotions officer Clement "Juni" Liburd. He added that the atmosphere of the pre festival activity will be greatly enhanced by the "new look" Fort Street which was refurbished and traffic restrictions imposed for the March hosting of the ICC Cricket World Cup.
A similar activity will be held every week throughout the island after the first event. On June 1, the action moves to Mount Idle, Sandy Point. On June 8 the sister island of Nevis hosts an event at D. R. Walwyn Square in Charlestown. The final activity before the start of the festival is June 15. "Action Avenue" will once again be the venue.
