The celebrations will continue throughout the evening with remarks from Government and Sports Officials, followed by a cultural segment with participation from schools, soca and calypso artistes and other entertainers from St. David.
The Ministry encourages all Grenadians to turn-out in their numbers and be a part of this special occasion by wearing their national colours and fly the National flag to show their support and love for Anderson Peters
