#TurksandCaicos, December 14, 2017 – Providenciales – Heart-pounding drums, whistles, horns and cow bells will bring the best  of TCI’s cultural heritage to life along the Grace Bay strip on Boxing Day, December 26, as the Turks & Caicos Hotel  and Tourism Association (TCHTA) prepares for Maskanoo 2017.

Now in its ninth year, the annual street festival is one of the best ways for tourists and locals alike to experience the  culture and heritage of the Turks and Caicos Islands. The festivities will kick-off at 3PM until midnight with local artisans  and food vendors lining the street around the Saltmills Plaza and Regent Village shopping area.  Patrons will enjoy a cultural parade directed by Mr. David Bowen showcasing locally-made costumes, and entertainment  by the Harbour Heights Band, all building up to the touted return of the 90s hit-makers; the Sagittarius Band.

Organizers have also added a TCHTA Maskanoo Fun Run, a pre-event slated for Saturday, December 23rd at 6AM.   Runners are encouraged to wear a fun mask during the event, provided upon registration with the TCHTA. There is a  $15 registration fee, with part proceeds to aid the rebuilding efforts at the Oseta Jolly Primary School.
