The Hon. Olivia “Babsy” Grange, minister of Culture, Gender, Sport and Entertainment has released a video message via her official twitter account, thanking all of the people who participated in this year’s Jamaica Festival Song Competition.
“The success of this year’s competition has provided us with the perfect springboard to soar to even greater heights. I anticipate even more exciting times ahead.” said Minister Grange.
Grand Gala
Minister Grange also announced that because of the prevailing health concerns, there will be no Grand Gala this year inside the National Stadium. “To compensate for that and to ensure that we commemorate our independence in fine style, we’ve created a wonderful virtual show – the Jamaica 58 Independence Spectacular, which will be broadcast LIVE on Independence Day from 4pm to 7pm,” said the Minister.
