CDF Presents ‘Kwéyòl Market’

Event Set For Oct. 26-27 In Constitution Park.

PRESS RELEASE – THE Cultural Development Foundation (CDF) in collaboration with the Folk Research Centre (FRC), Castries Constituency Council (CCC) and Events Company of Saint Lucia Inc. (ECSLI) presents “Kwéyòl Market” – a two-day exciting and fun-filled yard fair.

Kwéyòl Market is a platform for creative expression and commerce for Saint Lucian painters, designers, jewellery makers, sculptors, musicians, dancers, actors and confectioners as well as other artistes — the perfect opportunity to showcase uniquely Saint Lucian products and services as a precursor to the JounénKwéyòl festivities.

Kwéyòl Market is the brainchild of the CDF and forms part of Arts and Heritage Month, under the Soleil Summer Festival. The open-air market is slated for Thursday, October 26 and Friday, October 27 at Constitution Park between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on both days. The market will serve as a one-stop-shop for those visiting the space to be immersed in and embrace Saint Lucian kwéyòl culture through its diverse facets.

The CDF invites all to be a part of this exciting and engaging activity. Interested persons are invited to a meeting at the CDF Conference Room at Barnard Hill where further clarity will be given regarding the Kwéyòl Market. This meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 16 and will commence promptly at 5:30 p.m.

Registration has commenced and eager parties are invited to visit the CDF office ahead of Monday’s meeting. Booths are limited and will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis.
