Culturama in Nevis coming mid-August
2009-07-27 20:27:46 by
The 35th anniversary of our festival, Culturama, will be held July 30 - Aug 4, and Nevis and St Kitts hotels are already filling up. The official opening ceremony for the celebration will be Thursday, the July 30, at 7:30 p.m., followed immediately by the Mr. and Ms Talented Youth Pageant and Junior Kaiso Contest. The long-awaited Emancipation Jouvert Jump-Up will be held Monday, August 3, starting at 5:00 a.m.
The Jouvert Morning jam session is now known as the Emancipation Jouvert Jump Up and has grown into a huge event, with thousands of revellers taking to the streets from the wee hours of the morning right up until mid-day. A four-mile road jam from Gingerland into Charlestown has now become a feature of the Emancipation Jouvert Jump Up.
Other fun activities include the Culturama 35 Clash Of D?Bands, Food Fair, Drag Races, and the much-loved Ms. Culture Queen Pageant, along with many others. The Culturama prize-giving ceremony will take place on Saturday, the 15th of August, at 8:00 p.m.
The idea of Culturama was conceived in February, 1974 by the Nevis Dramatic and Cultural Society (NEDACS). The main objectives of Culturama originally were - and still are:
1. To give a vital thrust to our dying traditional customs.
2. To stimulate an interest in the wealth of our cultural heritage.
3. To create a climate in which indigenous folk art can reassert itself and flourish.
4. To raise funds for the constructing a community center, which will serve as a base for the projection of cultural awareness programs.
It's a time when class barriers are broken down and people of all creed and class, locals and visitors alike, become culturally assimilated and socially united in seven days of fun, frolic, mas, revelry, splendor, history and creativity.
Come on down during these amazing weeks, and immerse yourself in the culture of Nevis with Culturama 35! Be sure and stop by our local Coldwell Banker office while you are here, to find out about our great buying opportunities.
