Meanwhile, Latitude Stars, a staple of Virgin Gorda’s entertainment scene, will revive memories of the island’s “Musical City” era with performances spanning rhythm and blues, reggae, soca, ballads and dance favourites.
The event will also feature cultural foods and drinks, a fresh market opening at 3 p.m., and traditional races and games hosted by Shadow from 4 p.m.
