Xmas on De Castro Street kicks off today December 4, 2015
The two-day event, scheduled for December 4-5, 2015, is reported to have an increased number of vendors, with organisers scrambling to make additional space.
It’s another way to spend money, which the average resident complains he does not have, and to get in the Christmas spirit.
However, those with cash can shop for arts and crafts, home décor and household items, bath and body products along with local jewelry, fashion attire and of course food and beverages.
Previously, Christmas on Main Street, which is about 17 years old, the event now on De Castro Street in the vicinity of the National Bank of the Virgin Islands and Scotiabank, is in its second year and will see, outside of the variety of vendors, some 15 schools participating in carol singing.
It will also have much cultural entertainment with plenty of bands, including the Lashing Dogs, Razor Blades, Relentless, Splash and some steel bands.
Speaking of shopping, persons may not want to miss the food court where they can get their pies, tarts, potato pudding, seafood dishes and local drinks like sorrel and the Virgin Islands signature guavaberry, which is described as the official drink of the Overseas Territory’s holiday season.
City Manager Janice Brathwaite-Edwards could not be reached for comment as of post time.
