The event provides the local farmers and vendors a perfect venue to connect with consumers and offer fresh, locally grown, healthy and organic produce. The event will also comprise local cuisine and cultural presentations ranging from drum presentations to local poetry, as well as live musical entertainment.

This initiative shows the St Kitts and Nevis government’s continued support to fulfil its promises of establishing markets for fishers, farmers and other food producers.

The Ministry also aims to support the local vendors by providing them such platforms over and over again where they can sell their produce easily.
