Plans are in progress to stage the 2023 Carriacou Maroon and String Band Music Festival. ย
Anderson โLeftistโ Matheson, Coordinator of the Cultural Secretariat, is spearheading the event, along with a team of volunteers.
The festival will run from April 28- 30.
Matheson says the Secretariat will showcase the islandโs rich cultural heritage, with groups from Carriacou and Petite Martinique, Union Island and mainland Grenada, participating in big drum and quadrille dancing and Shakespeare Mas.
A number of local bands will also be on stage.
Friday nightโs activities will take the form of a village maroon, which will be held in the northern community of Bayaleau.
Saturday nightโs event, dubbed โCultural Explosionโ will be held at the Botanical Gardens, Hillsborough.
The festival will culminate on the world-famous Paradise Beach on Sunday, April 30.
