CANE GARDEN BAY, Tortola, VI – For the third successive year, the BVI Spring Fest is set to take Tortola by storm from March 3-5, 2017 and Jamaican artiste Dexta Daps, Louis Anthony Grandison, will be the headline act for the International Flag Night at Cane Garden Bay on Friday March 3.

Marketing Director of Five Star Promotions, Ms Jehree D. Clarke said, “This is our third year putting on the BVI Spring Fest and we really appreciate all of the feedback and support that we have received thus far. This year, a lot of people are excited for Spring Fest and people know that it’s no longer a question of whether the artist will show up. We have listened to your feedback and we’re giving you more space, a bigger stage and also upgraded the sound system. We don’t foresee anyone being disappointed this year.”

Clarke said the organisers wanted to give a special thank you to sponsors Honourable Melvin ‘Mitch’ Turnbull, BVI Tourist Board, Virgin Islands News Online, Native Son, Al’s Marine, Myett’s, and Da Basement.
