Culturama Almost Here!
It’s about to kick off and Nevis Island is getting excited to celebrate Culturama 2009!
Friday marks the beginning day… It will last from July 24th to August 4th. It will be full of fun, food, festivities, costumes, music and rich culture.
FYI - it will kick off with some rain, as it’s FORCASTED to rain so far on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday!
Aside from that, Culturama is said to be NEVIS PREMIER FESTIVAL! It’s why many people visit Nevis, and what many islanders look forward to all year! The rain will be no obstacle. For many, it will enhance the fun, and being out of the sun can provide a nice change of pace.
