La Plaine to host first ever Goat Festival

A goat pageant is one of the many activities that will form part of the first-ever Goat Festival in the community of La Plaine on Saturday.

The event, which aims to highlight the work of goat-rearing farmers in the area, kicks off at 11:00 am with musical entertainment from the Kubuli Big Truck.

Activities for the day will include a Lapo Kabwit drumming display from the two major Lapo Kabwit groups in the community, a goat race and a goat pageant.

Festival attendees will be able to purchase fresh goat meat and enjoy curry goat dishes with rice, ground provisions and peas plus at least another dozen goat dishes.

There will be discussions on  how future farmers can expand their markets  and any technical assistance and resources they can access in selling goat milk to  local and regional customers and  in making   goat milk cheese, ice cream and fudge.

The festival will also include a regional Soca, R& B, Calypso, Creole and Bouyon Music showdown set to feature visiting teen talent Of St Lucia “Ricky Boy.”

“Ricky Boy” has received major branding support since his arrival on island and is expected to perform a 45 minute repetoire of Soca, Creole and R& B Music all of which were originaly written by him and produced by J Records in St Lucia.

Digital Vybez and Ncore Band are also expected to perform.

    What a creative initiative! 3 Cheers to the folks of Laplain. Dominicans really are a creative set of people. Rabbit, goat, titiwi, fish, pig etc etc . what will they think of next

    However in the future lets suggest they spaced out these events better. For this weekend alone there will be about 8 major events taking place simultaneousely including, fairs, fetes, concerts, reunions etc etc. they should space them out better so they don’t clash since dominica has only a limited clientele and limited spending power

    Oh my God, I just love this goat! DNO you’re the absolute best. Imagine I smile when I remember that goat

  11. August 2, 2012

    I wonder why did DNO chose one that looks like a scapegoat, when the first line of the news article reads “A goat pageant”?

    Should that goat not be the most beautiful goat in Laplaine? Like some of my Dominican people will say! Boy look jokes wee! Hehehehehehe!

    Anyway people of Laplaine enjoy yourselves and keep peace among you during that “Goat Festival’

    I am verry proud that dominica is taking the initiative promoting goat rearing, goat is an intrigal part of our culture, and throught out the caribean .there is a saying in NEW YORK the olny way you know you are at a west indian party is when you see some goat stew.

    I would like to buy some goat to raise for milk , and for food, if the farmers make the information available to the public at the goat fair I would be glad to follow thru.

    Thanks D.N.O for posting that event.

  23. August 2, 2012

    Look out I will be sending “THE GANGA Farmer”, to represent the East he will be smoking with style. that`s the name of my Goat,good luck to him.

    There are all sorts of festivals as Rabbit Festival. From time to time I purchase goat meat. It is tasty. Do not make me hungry and yearn for it. Would love a piece of goat meat. :lol: This weekend is Caribana weekend in Toronto and a time for Caribbean fish/meat and other delicacies. I will be going to a BBQ this weekend and so I expect I will get some goat meat. This never fails. :) Looking forward to it.
    Keep in mind that God did not create those animals and their edible meat for nothing. They are for our consumption on condition we eat a moderate portion.
    Have fun at the Goat Festival.
