Food, music and fun in Cricket Carnival events this weekend

Niketa

From the much anticipated food festival on Main Street to a chic Soca and Wine concept party in the Marriott parking lot, Cricket Carnival events go into full gear this weekend.

The weekend events kicked off yesterday with the three-day food festival and a duck curry competition showcasing Guyana’s lavish multi-cultural cuisine and featuring foods from different Caribbean countries. The food festival concludes tomorrow.

While some will be enjoying delectable food on Main Street, partygoers can choose to attend the Soca Off Shore Boat Cruise tonight. The vessel sails from the Transport and Harbours Wharf in Kingston from 8 pm and returns at midnight. There is also a pre-cruise party at the wharf from 6 pm. This event includes performances from songbird Niketa and Jumo ‘Rubber Waist’ Primo and Granny Ivy. There will also be a surprise performance, which the organisers have not disclosed as yet.
