Chief Cultural Officer Earlson Matthew is reminding the general public that there is a lot more to experience as Dominica celebrates its 47 years of progress and purpose.
His comments came during a statement on Monday.
“So we are just coming off one of our biggest World Creole Music Festivals as we celebrate 25 in 25. But that’s not the end of the independence season,” Matthew said. “ There’s still the Miss Wob Dwiyet Pageant to come. As you know, we have seven beautiful young ladies vying for that title. And that’s taking place at the Massacre Indoor Sporting Facility this Wednesday the 29th.”
He continued, “Remember, Friday [October 31] is Creole Day… And we have a National Dress Parade on the streets of Roseau.”
Matthew said the Division of Culture is looking forward to making history on that day.
“Remember on that day we’re promoting the National Wear and we are inviting everyone to join us,” he emphasized.
Matthew added, “Also, the National Cultural Gala is on Sunday, the 2nd of November at the Botanic Gardens, the National Day Observance Ceremony on the 3rd, and the National Day of Community Service on the 4th.”
