St Peter's Fisheries Cooperative hosts second annual Eat Fish Day 

All roads lead to Dublanc on Sunday, November 9 when the St. Peter's Fisheries Cooperative will hold its second annual Eat Fish Day. 

Eat Fish Day is a cultural celebration of fish eating utilizing a variety of different recipes. There will be French, Venezuelan, Cuban, Chinese, Japanese, American, Dominican and other fish dishes from which to choose. 

While enjoying your fish, you can watch both local and foreign cultural performances. There will be a variety of activities for children from a bouncy castle to face painting to races and games. You can even hook a fish on land and it's your -yes FREE. 

Club DVD will be present throughout the day. Musical groups Extreme Band from Colihaut, MFR from Portsmouth, and Triple K will play later in the evening starting at 6:00 

Eat Fish Day is the Cooperative's main fundraiser for projects like the "Eat Fish in Schools" - an island-wide fish lunch program. 

The long term objectives of Eat Fish Day are to raise awareness about the health benefits of eating fish as well as the economic importance to the livelihoods of our local fishermen and development of Dominica.

Cable & Wireless Creole in the Park is a concept which was born in 2003 from the need to satisfy the demand for a day event for local and visiting patrons during Dominica's annual Independence season. It was also an idea for a fringe event to complement the World Creole Music Festival (WCMF).

The first Cable & Wireless Creole in the Park would take place over a four-day period in the week leading up to the 7th WCMF and would be located in the Northern section of the historic Botanical Gardens bordering on Valley Road in the capital Roseau.

Creole in the Park - Venus

Located about 50 meters from the Roseau River, is the 40-acre Botanic Gardens of Dominica. This area of undulating land is the largest tract of semi-open space in the city of Roseau. With an elevation of about 66 ft above sea level, the historical Botanical Garden is the cradle of the Cable & Wireless Creole in The Park event. Conceived in 1889, this verdant landscape of 40 acres provides the perfect scenic backdrop for the sun-drenched days of creole activity.

Sweet Music of Jing Ping music blended with steelpan, cadence and bouyon music. Old friends were reunited and new friendships made. From stage performances, Creole Cuisine, and local Creole products...these are the sights, sound and smell of Cable and Wireless Creole in the Park.
