Many other entertaining activities will be during the event, and attendees can win surprise-filled gifts.
DJ X-Ray (reloaded sounds) and the Kasanova Band will handle the entertainment duties for the occasion. They will entertain the crowd and improve the trip experiences of travellers coming to Nevis from all over the world.
Food and Culinary Delights
The excellent experience highlighting the fruit’s adaptability will come from the partnership between street sellers and brilliant chefs. By incorporating the fruits and vegetables into each dish and cocktail, the produce will be distinctively presented at various stalls.
The festival’s primary goals are to promote local produce and give residents and vendors a source of income.
Furthermore, the fruit festival aims to tackle the problem of food security and promote the use of organic and locally produced goods. Premier Brantley added that this event will promote and consume more local products.
