Jammin’ still in Point

This set the pace for a day celebrating the borough’s 37th anniversary under the theme New Beginnings.

More than 700 people, wearing mostly coloured T-shirts and shorts, enjoyed a free flow on Main Road.

Vendors were allocated spots near the market to sell and, as a result, there was no congestion on street corners where in past years the set up stalls.

Not surprisingly, the song of choice was the 2017 record-breaking Road March Full Extreme by Ultimate Rejects had revellers jammin’ still as the sun came up. They also danced to Machel Montano’s Your Time Now.

Twenty-five bands, among them Dem Puncheon Boy, Frolic Mania, Country Bookie and Celebrity Kalls, paraded along Main Road to Adventure Road in front of Dock of the Bay bar where they were judged.

Deputy Mayor of Point Fortin Kennedy Richards commended the police for controlling the traffic, and said the street party was incident free and hoped to complete the day the same way.
