BASSETERRE (Friday 18th December 2020) — The virtual opening of Sugar Mas 49, staged at the Sugar Mill at the Warner Park Stadium on Friday 11th December 2020, has been on the receiving end of high praises by patrons who viewed the live streaming on social media, ZIZ television, or listened on ZIZ radio. Minister of Culture Jonel Powell said Sugar Mas 49 promises to be exciting and interesting despite COVID-19: “Because of the restrictions on mass gatherings, we have had to forgo some of our signature events such as J’ouvert, pageants and parades. We would still have some exciting Sugar Mas 49 with the other planned events and a heavy dosage of culture.” Performances included Dejour, Infamus, King Socrates, Kollision Band, and folklore appearances by the St. Peter’s Actors and Valon’s Masquerade Troupe.
