BVI Fish Fete now a 2-day event



2 days of fish and fun
“The vendors are going to be having the various fish dishes from different Caribbean islands and that’s going to start from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.,” he said.
Patrons will be able to sit and eat at the venue, Wickhams Cay 1, behind the Government Administrative Complex, and will also be able to buy fresh fish.
In the evening, the BVI Fish Fry begins from 6:00 p.m. until midnight and is free of charge to attendees. Three bands are part of the lineup to include X-static, Bari and Intrusive along with DJs Bad Influence and DJ Nixx.
Sunday, October 20, 2024, will be the BVI Fish Fete Fiesta
Parillon said the lineup is a “grand” one featuring Armani from Jamaica making his Virgin Islands debut, Onyan from Antigua and Shaw HP the Band among a number of DJs.
Both days he added is going to be a “fun family event” adding “you can come get all your fish dishes that you want, fish in mayo, fish in creole, fried fish, the whole works
BVI Fish Fete moved to October from November
The first Fish Fete was held in November, however Parillon said holding the event in October has its advantages.
“We’re focusing on fish, at this present time lobster season is closed and obviously there’s a Lobster Fest at the end of November so they focus on lobster, we’re focused on fish,” he stated.
The BVI Fish Fete focuses on what he called one of the VI’s main dishes.
“We just want to give people the different options of fish, come out and enjoy fish and entertainment so it’s all about fish and entertainment,” Parillon added.
The BVI Fish Fete is an event organisers want to see grow to become an annual event attracting more vendors and patrons and bigger artists to the lineup.

What a ting.
Please can we stop the BA open air concerts on that piece of land? There is no noise mitigation at all. Turn it into a park and Ferry dock.
