Jamaican dancehall mega star is among the headline acts for LIME Creole in the Park 2012.
Creole in the Park (CITP) has become a staple of pre-independence celebrations in Dominica and will run this year from October 22 – 25. It will feature some of Dominica’s best talents alongside more established artistes.
It also gives young artistes the opportunity to debut at a major event.
This year’s event will include soca acts, a reggae act, will introduce a gospel artiste and the performance of what has been described as a ‘cadence legend.’
Included in the line up are Colton T, WCK, Asa Banton, Triple K, Swinging Stars, Ti Orkest among others.
This year’s CITP will see patrons paying increased entrance costs on all days, with days one, two and three now set at $5 and day four at $10.
Speaking at the media launch of this year’s CITP on Thursday, LIME Country Manager Jeffrey Baptiste, said it is going to be the biggest and most exciting so far.
Below is the schedule for the event.
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me
to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a
designer to create your theme? Fantastic work!
Admin: Thanks for your compliment. Yes, we have our own designers.
Why can you all bring down famous people ?
COME TO DOMINICA
WHAT SENSE YOU COME TO DOMINICA AND YOU DOMINICA ALREADY.
i wish i could be there
Great job lime. I cannot understand the negative vibes. I am well pleased.
allyuh complaining for $10?!!! Please! That’s not bad at all. I am a little disappointed at the fact that it is loosing it’s intimacy and the fact that it was more of family based event. It does seem as though they are trying to compete with with WCMF…
kk shud play de thursday
so triple kay playing monday explain plezzzzz
am tired of them sayin they bringin down international artist when is only Jamaican artist that coming down, bring down some famous person from the u.s. i bet some jamaician will be down again for the wcmf.
YOU ONLY HAVE TO BE FROM USA TO FAMOUS STUPES////
Lime when this creole in the park thing started out it was a real good family vibes, there were loads of local music9specially creole) jazz, pan etc. It was also affordable to the masses. Now you are more concerned in bringing in big name reggae, dance-hall and soca artistes, this now makes this an expensive venture, with the entrance price doubling every year.
The show has lost it’s intimacy and is just trying to compete if not undermine the WCMF instead of compliment it. This event has deviated so far from its cherish begging just because of the inflated egos of its planners.
Gentlemen get back to basics you had a god thing going, stop spoiling it. Making it accessible to the masses in the beginning was one of its biggest selling point, please get back to the family event instead of this highly commercial rowdy direction you are intoxicated on.
why do dominicans talk too much like a parrot , must u all dispute everything, u dont contribute a dime and u want to run thier show what ever they are offering its either u take it or leave , u all are negatively thinkers very very low mentalities , why dont u all be tolorating u are all backwards people .accept what they offering if u dont want it go home . gosh too much complaining for everything.
Yes i lime doing is doing it even bigger this year,thanks lime.BRUCK IT DOWN
I got to say this tho, all you telling Roseau people not to play football in the gardens, when we already don’t have a park? All you take away Windsor park and put a useless stadium that have Chinese playing football there every Sunday… Where the #$%^ we suppose to play? Wouldn’t people dancing to triple kay/wck/asa bantan/ and Mr Vegas more wreck that sprinkler system yall put there? Botanical gardens never even needed that in the first place, is not in the Saharah Dessert this is the TROPICS PEOPLE!
So looking forward to it this year, wristbands i welcome, but LIME should also consider something like a season ticket for the four days, it’s a killer after you leave work at four to rush and get a ticket every day……
IS THAT SOOO ?! Bruk It Down !!!
double bubble for days!!! LIME eill chop my money this year for sure! lmao #plenty dollars in my name!! ;-) sooooo loving this line up!!! …..would love it if they have wrist bands and more venues to purchase the tickets……the crowd to enter is a killer!!!!
u doe lie nah
Come on people WCMF line up is still much much better than that.You like this line up because is plenty for little money,ha oh all you broke man.Well check with your pallrep I think they have some money left for entertainment they will hook you up with ticket for fess.Go fast before it finish.
By then most of you would have aready spend about $300.for that event,ha good things do come cheap
Stop fooling all you selves by December lime make back the money they spend on that event.Most of you dont even know how much you paying per minuit to talk on the phone,ha ha take that suckers!
I have an outfit for each day. For Mr. Vegas, I putting the shortest short pants I can get to buy. I want my battie to shake when I doing my bruk it down. And all you can watch me and talk I doe care a D. That is my song.Everyday i going to shop just to look for my outfit. And, yes, i will be on the stage. Look out for me!! See you Thereeeeeeeeee.
gyal me look fi you>>>>hottttt it up!!
okay i am just wondering whether the price of this event will remain the same, seeing that it went from a dollar to two then three then five and now ten!! so will there be a fixed price or it will just keep on fluctuating. i am just wondering.
So wait now…a line up of soca and dancehall and everyone is soooo excited and comparing it to WCMF. The same WCMF that is pressured every year for inviting reggae artistes.
World Creole Music Festival…Creole in the Park…I see a common word there. Make up all u darn minds!
Lime I hope you are happy now that you are eclipsing the WCMF, considering that was an event that was CONCEPTUALIZED by the DFC and meant as a FRINGE event!
CITP was Conceptualised by a Lime Staffer
i’m kind of partial to the price thing. i mean once upon a time it used to be a ‘contribution’ kinda thing. now it seems price just keep going up on pple. but look at it this way…i much rather the line up as compared to creole fes, in which everybody seem to be staying quiet on d $120 a night entrance fee. i’m just hoping that the $5 n $10 on d last night dont change to $10 n $20 next yr. y’all already giving creole fes big time competition artist wise, dont try it in entrance fee too. cuz thats wld be the beginning of the end. while everything rising on us just remember our paycheck stays d same. anywayzzzz..im a bacchanalist. cant wait for citp to bruk bruk bruk it down
thank you lime :-D,love the line up,wednesday and thursday i in dat.
THIS LINE UP IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE CREOLE FESTIVAL LINE UP BIGG UP TO LIME!!!!
um is that even a point? Lime have plenty money to try and upstage Digicel. WCMF does not!
To make money you have to spend money.
THE CREOLE IN THE PARK LINE UP EVEN BETTER THAN THE CREOLE FESTIVAL LINE UP!!! BIG UP TO LIME.
With the increased entrance fee, i’m hoping that they are going to provide wristbands because i will most definitely NOT b paying $5.00 to enter the park each time to come back in eh … weh weh weh LIME … but i must say this year line-up is good
It’s only $5.00. For that kind of entertainment you can leave and enter 10 times and it will still be worth it.
if lime think they getting my $10 they lei…so log my internet down and i not owing and they can’ fix it or give me credit..get better customer service that will pay all you better!
Great planning for the event’s line up!!! Broke-Broke-Broke-Broke it down!!!
DNO, you need to Caution Kairi fm about copying your news iteam word for word. I mean, its too obvious for people like me, who check DNO daily and listens to Kairi news daily. This piece above, Kairi had this in their news word for word, and i have heard other news items before. DNO please take note. Another note, great Job LIME as usual.. we expect the best from you always!!!
ADMIN: Thanks…..will look into it
Dominicans too like to complain for every damn thing…complaining about 10$…do u know how much flight+accomodation+set up+ the wage of those international artists cost? I doubt LIME making profit from that. If u find is too much, jus doh go..simple..allu too like freeness, I find the line up better that WCMF and how much money allu paying for that..the hundreds of dollars for season ticket not too much though.
if they were not frofiting i dont think they would have continue
Lime is definitely not benefiting financially from hosting CITP. Dominica and its people are the ones benefiting from this event. This event is done to give back to the country and its people. It helps boost our culture, heritage, music and economy. CITP was never intended to make a profit and has never done so. This increase in price is mainly to help curb the expenses of the event because as we all have seen, the event is growing year on year and is becoming much more expensive to host. If you listened to the launch, you would have heard that the majority of the funds goes to the Botanical Gardens. Some also goes to the Cultural Division. Please get yourself informed before making silly comments.
that is what good PR is all about. LIME might not necessarily make cash earnings from CITP but the PR value pays significant dividends.
you must start to listen to lime on the radio stations to hear the amount of profits they making
Well done LIME
Nice lineup
But if every yr you guys earning record profits and you giving most to a charity why the increase in price, not that it is to much but LIME don spoil us with there $1.00,$2.00 and $5.00.
i hope is not greedy we getting at LIME.
I hope it would not be $20.00 soon cause i know Lime making it.
And Lime must start selling Tickets in advance at all there Lime stores throughout the island.
And the gate higher up should be used as an entrance also and let vehicle pass behind so there would be less of a rush
But it’s still better than Creole Fest
I agree. Tickets should be sold before rather than only during the CITP week. All now Im ready to purchase my tickets
Please get club DVD this year. No pun intended towards Arden but we really need the best sound system this year. We all want Club DVD
club DVD has always been there, its both of them actually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jealousy is a bad thing.
Good Lineup….but Lime needs to look at another Venue. Seriously.
They need not look at one side of the coin. This is killing the botanical gardens. is it really a gardens anymore…for the nauture isle, when compared to other islands like even barbads and antigua, our gardens really lackluster and this is not helpin.
Ya true but were
only place they can is potters
or share the stadium half half cause is half WCMF using
ummmm…creole in the PARK??????
the gate reciept should help
So when Lime gives the Forestry Division the big check, to help with the clean-up and sprucing up, what do they do with it??? Where you want Lime to have it, in Dos Dan??
Thibaud!!
lmao they can bring it Portsmouth we……..heheheheheheh
awa check us Mahaut we have spot for so
Where you want dem to have it, in Dos Dan?
My fellow Dominicans, if we are so concerned about the upkeep of the Botanical Gardens, then we shouldn’t be complaining to pay $5 for three days and $10 on the last day of CITP since all the gate monies go back to Forestry Division….every black cent. Y’all happy to romp around, be it wet or dry. So what about the maintenance afterwards? I mean, be fair. We all enjoyed when it was $1 and $2; but that was then….haven’t the cost for most commodities and services risen since? Big up to LIME for initializing and maintaining such a grand daytime event for the festivities….just pls have a Double Bubble instead of a Bonus Bubble and stop trying to misguide customers with the fault advertising of “Top up $150 and get a free Nokia C2″…Advertise properly and don’t let the people believe that they can top up their existing mobile number with $150 and then collect a free phone. Say it in layman English that everybody can understand. Thank you LIME. Dominicans love u
Relax that`s what D,N.O.is in business to receive different views and opinions cause it is not for people who think it`s only for them. I always assist D.N.O. in this regard for those persons who quick to react to all and any posted comments. Relax, my people and enjoy the fun.
Your information is not correct. The gate reciepts are divided in three and distributed to the Forestry Division, Cultural Division and LIME. The Forestry Divisin does not get a check as we see at every “handing over ceremony after the festival. The cheque is a symbolic handing over. No real money. The money is retained by LIME and distributed as requestd by LIME after approval by their regional office based in Jamaica.The Forestry Division does not have the money. Infact as the 2012 festival is launched,there is still left overs from 2011 in LIME’s coffers.
But the Gardens is crying out. I agree with one f the bloggers, that the big boy at LIME should heed the Division’s announcement and stop playing football on the lawns.
it’s good for DA…that is why they giving money to the Gardens…from since last year the grass has grown again…so no complaining..go out bring your family and eat, drink and parrrtttyyyy…OK?enjoy life and what Lime has to offer…
I’m more excited and look forward to creol in the park rather than going creol festival. Good Job LIME.
fantastic line up… to me 10 dollars is still free!! where else can you get to see mr vegas for 10dollars!!
big up lime…best line up ever!!!!
we Dominicans too like to complain for everything if u dont like the place or the line up stay home u will not be missed and lime u all always have some last mins changes or cancellation pay ur bill now
I recently heard a radio announcement warning Roseau youth to stop playing football at the Botanic Gardens. Then I pondered….. isn’t Creole in the Park more destructive to the Botanic Gardens…..then I said to myself this is Dominica, anything goes. On a related note, the CEO of LIME should lead by example and discourage the playing football at the Gardens.
yu mean MUD IN DE PAK
So is the bar going to be another fish market or does someone organize something civil?
Dominicans are nostalgic about the Botanic Gardens and daily lament the current state of affairs yet we keep on destroying the Gardens. The meager handout given to the Forestry Division can do very little to restore the damage done by Creole in the Park while LIME is raking in the profits. The million dollar Irrigation System is being destroyed. Its time for the authorities to consider an alternate location. What about the the Canefield Airstrip….. call it Creole on the Strip
fool you sound endangered!!
@ wey papa……go back to the sewers of Roseau.
For all who are concerned about the destruction of the Gardens, relax, please.
Do you think the Forestry Division would allow LIME to hold an event that would destroy a million dollar investment? The answer is NO!
Last year the event was held and the irrigation worked fine thereafter.
It is clear you did not notice, but LIME has spent thousands of dollars to design metal enclosures, that covers the delicate nosels in the ground, yet support a 300lbs man jumping and waving on top of it. This system is so camouflaged that it blends in with the aesthetics of the Gardens… but none of you noticed.
I agree wit hyou. especially since tourist season starts about the same time.
It is really killing the gardens. Please Lime consider another Venue.
Maybe tey could do it on the bayfront…
foolish
Plz get club dvd dis year…arden system isn’t powerful enough for this event…and lime plz stick to a price.evry year price can’t be changing like dat..jus now it will be $20 man…SMH…bt d line up is good.
Bruk it Down
yessssssssssss!!!! #Everybody in dat!!!!! whoooooossssshhhhh thank you LIME! For sewoing………every year !! lmao that should be their new tagline!!!!
Okay those Dominican ……. will go on stage of cousre to do Bruk Bruk Bruk bruk bruk bruk dwon. As soon asd Mr. Vegas calls them they will run on stage to show all their kakalack.
hahahahahha look joke
Lime this year donot bring the stupid double credit in the park. I want double Bubble. I am looking forward to Double Bubble and Bruck it Down
Lime I do not have $25.00 the price is too high.
Is tge price the same for children?
for a month u putting more than that on ur mobile phones
Yes I! From contribution to $2.00 now $5.00 and $10.00. Well the price has just started climbing. Lime i thought you were doing this to expose our culture and to get the people to have fun but now you are doing it for profit.
allu think Lime operating in a different economy?
the same economy that putting blows on allu, is the same economy lime has to operate in.
that is just how dominica is.go by save a lot look at the prices today and compare it to two years ago when they started. same product ,same dealer and same freight yet the price change.
u dominicans complain over every dam thing u have a choice weather u want to be there or not lime dont loose anything there price is there price is lime u like is lime u will get
Was expecting PSquare or Marshal Montano
or Bracket
p square all you dominicans just too cho too flame. look around dominica and the caribbean for talent. let the money remain in the region. p square ! yes i like their music but give me a brake here man. all you too ouchan.
all u complaining about the price but all you want thripple figure US dollar artist?
lime great line up, keep up the good work. please bring back double bubble, thats my only issue.
Much better than Creole Fesival!
Dis is just nt the best place to keep this event. Cause we all know every year its rainny times.so I believe the committe needs to look into dat. Otherwise dats a very great event.thank u limeeee
I understand the fact that it rains sometimes during Creole in the Park. But Can you think of another location that is centralized for the public and still allows you to keep the cultural, sentimental significance of the event? I cant.
To have this event in a sheltered, secluded venue (like Crazy Coconuts), would take away from the ambiance and impact it was designed to accomplish, and that is, a day time event that complements all other creole activities, an opportunity to showcase our culture, food and hospitality of our people, in the nostalgic atmosphere of the Botanical Gardens.
Very Good Lime.. But You forgot some Good Artist.. Next Year we are looking forward to seeing Bob Marley, Tupac and Lucky Dube ohh last but not least Culture..
it seems u can bring lucky dube from the dead
only and idiot could hve wrote dis didn’t u have anything better 2 do
I really want to see them too.
Ain’t going to lie, this is planned very well. It was properly thought out. I’m impressed!
The way of life all over is pay more for less. Five & ten dollars to deal with poor sound system lots of unprofessional acts, like, come as you like, not too mention the Malkasa little rouges wana be gangstars who choose the occasion to settle their differences. I hope we start looking outside the box and look at another venue to keep the ever popular Creole in the park and lets demand the best for the ever increasing price for the show. I suggest the various acts be told to dress in a uniform manner and show respect for their supporters, Start on time and give a good account of themselves only then we will have no problem paying more for the show. Then again Dominicans like their Sewo and will do anything to find the money to be there.
I’m sorry… did you say “start on time”. Sir, Mam, in the 9 years that LIME has planned this event, it has never started 1 second late. Awaaaaaah, take that back. There is no other event so organized in Dominica that starts on time… not even church.
when it comes to organization and execution, LIME takes the cake and runs with it.
WCMF can not stand in LIMEs shoes, let alone take shelter in their shadow.
i like dat ….. if u not hired by lime they need a pro like u
while i respect your comment. I do hope that you never attend the WCMF!!! As at this event you never get value for your money.
Not bad @ all. I will be der 1st, 2nd, and last day
thank you LIME! veryyyy good this year!
Agree, why do an event of this magnitude with substandard sound. The line up also is not attractive
Tuesday i’ll be there…zouk and all that.
Hope the weather is fineeeee
This park is not fit for human gathering when rain falls. Lime why do you insist on inviting people to an unprepared venue?
we dont mind the rain/mud.. dress accordingly
What Vegas? No Sense!!!!! Why not machael Montano or Bunji Garlin and fayan
my bro mr vegas u talking about man. vegas is a veteran performer of more than 25 years to my recollection not a johnnny come lately to showbusiness. better him than those fly by night one hit wonders that keep reaping off dominicans repeatedly
Vegas is a entertainment machine by himself. Give respect where respect is due, brethren. I remember International Artist Night about 5 years ago…yeah, either 07 or 08…and Vegas did have a ‘ill performance’ in the stadium. I expect the same, and even more for CITP. Just a pity I wont be home. Big up to my company LIME……bruk bruk bruk bruk bruk bruk bruk bruk bruk bruk bruk it down!
It was in 2008. And I enjoyed it. Still coming to see him again.
oooooooh yesss u’re sooo right! I was at that international artist night back when val cuffy ran dfc i beleive….and that show was a blast!!!!! big up to lime man!!!
Yes I certainly agree. I love Vegas but his style of music does not have a place in Creole celebrations.
Bunji Garlin and Fay-Ann was there performing at Creole Fest last year. Why bring them again? We need new act everytime.
Lime not easy, just now ppl will have to start buying season ticket like creole fest, every year the gate fees going up. from free to $10.00 the country already hard.
the free time was a teaser
Let’s hope they improve the sound this year, last year was a disaster.
need club dvd
mashup for dayzzzzz lawwwd… dhis here lineup too ill!!! dhis better dan creole fest!
Oh, my God. What will happen to the Botanical Gardens? And what about the 1 million plus dollars irrigation project? This is the only Botanical Gardens in the world where such high profile large masses of people activity is taking place.Is it a Botanical Gardens or a Public Park? The Botanical Gardens seemingly has fallen victim to the telecoms war that is taking place in Dominica. Will our leaders take note. The Botanical Gardens is crying out for attention — help! help! help me !
You very people who complain about the Gardens being destroyed are the same ones who want to be driving through it daily, parking on the lawns to pick up your children, playing sports there,strolling your dogs etc. and yet you still want it to remain as this ‘perfect botanical gardens’ like in other countries where all of these activities are restricted and the gates are closed to the general public. Like it or not, this Botanical Gardens is more like a public park for the enjoyment of all,and will remain so until we decide that we want otherwise!!DOMINICANS LIKE TO HAVE THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!!!
Stop talking nonsence. It’s a beautiful place to have any activity. Grass will always grow back you fool. just enjoy the beautiful and love activity and say thanks to lime.
Damn!!! love the line up. Excellent work lime
Loving the line-up. Especially Wednesday!!!
