BAHAMAS: Culture and Youth in the Park at Centreville

#Bahamas, February 26, 2018 – Nassau – Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture, the Hon. Michael Pintard addressed the Centreville community at ‘Culture and Youth in the Park’ on Father Marshall Cooper Park, Saturday.   Member of Parliament for Centreville, and Chairman of the Antiquities, Monuments and Museums Corporation, Reece Chipman brought remarks.

The Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture’s ‘Culture and Youth in the Park’ is a part of community outreach, and a way to encourage and recognize the youth and culturally-minded persons throughout The Bahamas.

Among activities featured — members of the Seventh Day Adventist Pathfinders Band performed a lively number, members of the Saxons Superstars brought Junkanoo in a big way, Carifta Bahamas 2018 mascot “Iggy” the Iguana greeted the youngsters, and Junior Miss Galaxy Bahamas, Maleah Gabrielle Miller performed a vocal selection for the happy young crowds.  ‘Limbo and Fire King,’ Leroy “Sweet Boy Leroy” Butler wowed the crowds.

Culture and Youth in the Park, taking place Saturdays, is a part of a wider initiative that the Ministry is embarking on to support creative and cultural artists in The Bahamas as it seeks to uplift the various neighbourhoods throughout The Bahamas.
