It's Spring! It's Festival time!

I just got back to Toronto from Barbados a few days ago and it was feeling rather cold! You are probably saying what does he expect when he is coming from thirty to ten degrees Celcius!Ah but it's warmer this week and will be hotter in more ways than one as Victoria Day weekend approaches. Actually, in about ten days it will be the very hot and sweet BARBADOS ON THE WATER FESTIVAL at Harbourfront Centre, downtown Toronto! From 6 p.m on Friday, May 26th until 7 p.m. on Sunday 28th you will experience Barbadian culture at its best! Outstanding musicians, thespians, artists, fashion, and tasty dishes will be features that you will not want to miss. Two very special presentations will be Laff It Off with Rum and Koke as the opening act, and Barrow: Freedom Fighter; the first two shows being some of the very best live comedy fresh from Barbados, and Barrow: Freedom Fighter a well-produced and acted docu-drama about the first Prime Minister of Barbados filmed in Barbados! Also, in concert there will be top notch performers Red Plastic Bag, Edwin, Arturo Tappin, Rupee, Mighty Grynner, Biggie Irie, Lil' Rick, Peter Ram, Marvay, King Bubba, Kellie Cadogan, Eddie and Quincy Bullen, Two Mile Hill Band, Gibbs Brothers, Susan G., Sonia Collymore, among others. Excellent chefs Craig Greenidge and Chris De La Rosa, and mixologist Philip Antoine will be giving demonstrations that will satisfy your taste buds!
