As part of Dominica’s independence celebration today is being observed as Creole Day or Jounè Kwéyol.
Jounè Kwéyol is a celebration of Dominica’s language and culture. Dominicans across the island are encouraged to wear traditional creole clothing and sample creole dishes.
Jounè Kwéyol also features traditional dancing, folklore, food and music.
Activities for the day include a parade through the streets of Roseau by various schools and cultural activities throughout the island.
Bonjou tout moun
Mwen ka wè tout sé péyi-a ka fè menm bagay-la, palé asou kréyol épi lang anglé, palé asou kréyol épi lang fwansé.
Pou tousa ki ka matjé anlè kréyol, jódi-a, mwen pa ka rivé konprann ayen. Sé menm bagay pou péyi Matinik, yo ka palé asou lang kréyol-la épi lang fwansé. Ki manniè jan Domnik pé rivé konprann, pis yo pa ka palé fwansé ?
Si moun té ka matjé an kréyol tousa yo ni pou di, tout moun té ké konprann, pis tout moun lan ka konprann kréyol.
Sa, sé an gwo pwoblenm.
The picture is beautiful, all the pictures DNO has shown are beautiful, if DNO wish to us thesame file photo each year so be it. many companies use the one pic more than once. We should be great full DNO is available for thoes of us that are not in DA to enjoy our culture.DNO I say thank you for keeping us in the loop.
In pre school and primary school they dress so well. In high school, hmmm, look out, all kinds of mess with madras.
The kids are so beautiful look at lil miss at the back she is gorgeoussssssss HAve a safe and enjoyable creole day people and stop being so negative all the time enjoy the food enjoy the music and be safe !!!!!!!
That half cast comment was very offensive.

DNO,
sadly no where in your article you mention that Dominicans should try to speak kwéyol. It all about food and clothing. What a shame!.
Malèwezman, ou pa mansyoné ayen kont palé kwéyol asou jounè sa-la. Atjelman sé selma mangé i had yo ka palé kont. Magwé-sa!
The food and clothing that’s part of our culture tooo stop being so negative

The constitution(if you know what that is) gives one the right to differ. Thus the only negative person is you, and for your information, education and edification, there is a marked difference between culture and HERITAGE. And from your ranting I can see that you don’t know the difference so go get a book and do your due diligence to stop exposing your command of idiocy.
creole day is a waste of time here. the women make their own version of the national dress. the men trying a ting. and practically everyone talks english. people greedy for food like is first time they eating. and not to mention no one works – especially in government offices.
that’s a far cry from years gone by
gone r the days wen head teacher would beat us for speaking kweyol in and out of school
DNO can we have pics from today, it’s 10:20 am
May today be a blessed day to all dominicans and to Dominica..CELEBRATING CULTURE…….TODAY I WAS IN TOWN BY 7-8 AND EVERYONE LOOKED WONDERFUL.
DO ENJOY TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have we seen this picture before DNO?
what do you think? it says file photo?
yes you have. notice it says “file photo” at the bottom?
i was thinking the same thing.
There is no place in the world more blessed than Dominica. We should never forget though that we we are not to worship the creature but the Creator.
Always the praise and honour should go to the Almighty Father!!
Bon joune kweyol dominique….
