The crowning of the festival queens take place Saturday next at the ds Ranny Williams entertainment centre.

This is not a beauty contest. The focus is on cultural awareness.  A part of the routine is to perform a skit.  There is also a social media component…. the person who gets the most likes.  This alone does not guarantee victory.  Possibly a sectional prize.

Ms. St. Catherine Ms. Wright is the 2019 winner.  The contestant with most poise was Ms. St. Catherine.  This is among the highlights of Festival celebrations each year.
