Party for some, church for others: Dominicans gear up for New Year’s celebration

Dominicans will ring in the New Year at various venues across the island.

While many expect to observe the New Year with the traditional church service, others will be partying when the clock strikes 12.

Popular bouyon band, Triple Kay International, is carded to play at the Krazy Kokonuts in Loubiere from 11:00 pm until 6:00 am at a New Years Gala being hosted there.

Meanwhile, The Cove in Canefield will be hosting its third annual New Year’s Eve bash from 10:00 pm until day break. The event will feature bands including WCK, Aftermaff, and Natural Vibes. VIP patrons are expected to receive complimentary champagne and party favors.

While some will be on land for the New Years’ celebration, others will be out at sea on an Old Year/New Year Boat Cruise, organized by Miguel Labadie.  The cruise, which will take passengers from Roseau to Scotts Head and back, is already sold out. Main sponsors of that event are Digicel and Pirates Limited.
