In its 35th year, Culturama celebrates the Nevisian culture through pageantry, folklore, and social commentary. The preliminary events, usually lasting 12 days, kicked off on July 4 with the Culturama 35 Street Bash and wrapped up August 4 with the Cultural Street Parade. Every year the event coincides with the momentous Emancipation anniversary and features street jamming, j'ouvert, cultural shows, calypso competitions, horse racing, and parades of troupes and bands. Christophe Harbour was a proud supporter of this year’s Culturama festivities.
