The purpose of Culture on the Road is for the Department of Youth and Culture to show their support for the preservation, enhancement, promotion and development of Culture & Arts in Anguilla - you guessed it - on the road. Culture on the Road aims to increase Cultural awareness and provide information about bit and pieces of Anguilla’s culture, history, and traditions.
You are sure to see the DYC’s float across the island this year, the road show will make 5 - 6 stops to discuss, and quiz lucky bystanders about things culturally and historically relevant. The event will include small giveaways from generous sponsors to persons present. It is the department’s hope that such an initiative will foster and promote community spirit, cultural awareness and national pride.
The 2021 Culture on the Road show will start at the Anguilla Tourist Board at 9:30am on Friday, 3rd December 2021 following a brief opening ceremony. With each stop along the way you will be entertained by some of our own local talent. Culture on the Road will wind down at the Valley Food Court (The Strip) at approximately 5:30pm with snippets by the day’s entertainers performing songs that are sure to engender a feeling of national pride.
The float will be decorated and branded “Culture on the Road”, so look for DYC in your neighborhood! The event will also be broadcast live on In Anguilla and DYC’s Facebook pages.
Several cultural and artistic ambassadors will join the float at different stops to entertain and provide key historical information to the listening public.
The 2021 roadshow will be hosted by Farrah Banks.
