Culturama Poster

Nevis came to life as Nevisians revived their culture through celebratory festivities at Culturama 2007

.
This annual five day celebration traditionally succeeds in preserving folklore and colorful customs of such a beautiful culture.

What types of captivating activities did travelers witness during Culturama 2007?
Song, dance, folklore, arts, crafts, parades, pageants, costumes, dramas, displays, shows, competitions, and the list goes on…

What is Culturama all about? Well the Nevis Dramatic and Cultural Society has three main purposes for this cultural festival:

  • It gives a vital thrust to the dying traditional customs of Nevis.

  • It stimulates an interest in the wealth of Nevis’ cultural heritage such as local folk art.
  • It helps create a climate where indigenous folklore can reassert itself and flourish. The secondary purpose was to raise funds to build a Community Center to serve as a necessary base for the projection of Cultural Awareness Programmes.
