]]> The Cultural Thursdays Committee is teaming up with the Virgin Islands Communal Association (VICA) for Cultural Thursdays in Carrot Bay on April 18th.

This Thursday’s event will feature games and contests in which young people from the 1st district, as well as other parts of the island, will participate.

President of the Cultural Thursdays Committee, Monica Howson, expressed excitement about the collaboration with VICA for this special event. “I am well aware of VICA’s goals and reputation for cultural preservation, so when the opportunity arose for us to work together, I saw only positive benefits arising,” Ms. Howson stated.

Echoing her sentiment, VICA President Melissa Potter praised the Cultural Thursdays initiative, stating, “I like to see the community spirit behind the event and the authentic expressions of Virgin Islands culture. It aligns very much with the goals of VICA.”

This week’s Cultural Thursday coincides with school vacation, focusing the games and activities on children, although there are activities aimed at adults as well. Planned games and contests include fish cleaning competitions, three-legged races, cotta bundle races, can races, needle and thread races, lime and spoon races, and tug of war. The activities will kick off at 3 pm at the Carrot Bay Field.

In a significant announcement, the Cultural Thursday Group revealed a shift in the event’s frequency to once a month. First District Representative, Hon. Dr. Karl Dawson, explained that periodic reviews were built into the initial plan for Cultural Thursdays. According to him, the committee and vendors agreed that monthly occurrences would be more practical and may build more momentum for each event.
