Barbados: Festivities You Shouldn't Miss
For those people interested in going to festivities like I
do, here are some festivities in Barbados
you shouldn't miss.
- Holetown Festival
This is a week long celebration of Barbados for its anniversary. This festivity celebrates the first
settlement in Holetown last February 1627.
The festivity started February 17 and ended February 24, 2008. I guess this is one celebration we will have
to look forward to next year. But don't
worry there are still more festivities we can look forward to.
- Holders Season
This festivity features a collection of music including classical, opera, jazz, Latin and Caribbean. The celebration started last February 23 and will end on March 15 of 2008. It will be held at the Holders Plantation House. So if you are a music lover, don't miss it!
- Amistad's Atlantic Freedom Tour
Celebrated
on March 28 to April 5 of 2008, this shows when Freedom Schooner Amistad lands
in Barbados for
the historical recognition of the Atlantic Slave
Trade's abolition's 200th anniversary.
- Oistin Fish Festival
This is a two day festivity celebrates the local fishermen's contribution to the island. The Oistin Fishing Village holds this annual celebration traditionally during Easter weekend, which would be March 22 to March 24 this year. They will have competitions such as fish boning, boat racing,crab racing, and the most popular fishing.
- Barbados Gospelfest
It
is a popular festivity done each year that gospel artists wouldn't miss. The Artists from United
States, UK,

which will be held from May 19 to May 26 of this year.
