Government Is Finalizing Arrangements For A Major Music Festival This Year

An International Music Festival is on the horizon for Antigua & Barbuda.

The minister in charge of festivals, the Hon. Paul Chet Green made the announcement during his contribution to the 2015 budget debate earlier today.

He says his colleagues are calling for the return of such an event, as a key move to making Antigua & Barbuda competitive in regional entertainment tourism.

Minister Green, who also holds the portfolio of Culture, announced special plans for this division, including the addition of a deputy director of Culture.
