Organizers of the popular Wet Fete are making it clear students are not welcomed at the event.
Wet Fete 2014 is expected to take place at the Sisserou Hotel on Sunday 23rd and one of the organizers, Hillary ‘Tilly’ Thomas pointed out it is for mature patrons only.
“I am talking to a certain set of people, you see the younger generation, those that going to high school? They got a show in the park called Teenage Pageant, we are asking you to please go and support your show,” he stated. “Please, Wet Fete is a big people party, small people party is around the Savannah … grown mature folks that have a right to vote, they can enter Wet Fete.”
Thomas described the event as “trying to make a difference in Dominica’s entertainment.”
He is promising a “very nice show” this year. “We are going to have a little more flavor, a little more vibes, a little more energy from the show,” he noted. “Every year we try to lift it up. Everywhere I go out I see different things, I try to bring it in … this year we have a lot of attractions I don’t want to let it out of the bag, but it’s going to be of a very high standard.”
He also said there will be tight security. “You come in, you get searched, no matter how many times you go outside you will be searched,” he stated. “We bring safety to our business. We don’t want no incident, because the first year we had some incident and from that we have tightened up on our security.”
A number of local bands and a ‘surprise foreign artiste’ will be performing at the show.
I really don’t understand what he means by that statement. No offence but Mr. Tilly could have fixed up what he said, since he knows its for public consumption. If your speaking to friends, no problem. So if I attend Ross or the Sate college I annoy attend. A simple “no patrons under 18” would have great. Time we grow up in Dca. I speak slang web with friends but whenever I need to I bring out the proper English.
this wet fete still going on lol
This person, Hillary Thomas needs a crash course in using proper grammar when he speaks. It’s just wrong. Even if just basic grammar. No fancy words needed. Just speak like an adult with a brain. SMH
this person “taking notes” needs a crash course in manners. you can make any point you want to without having to insult someone. speak like an adult with a heart. smh
Im 23 and I dont even think this “wet fete” is for me. people having **** *** in pool?why is this show even going on
Then you guys best be responsible are ID or card people.Simple.Period!
i wonder if the little white man going to be in the pool again this year he and ,,,,,, was the highlight last year boy smh
Tilly action speaks louder than words. Its disgusting to see these kids at theses types of parties it seems like money is what matters to you all, Bello is NO different. There should be an age limit to enter these adult events. On another note. PARENTS if your kids are out at a certain time if they are under 18yrs old. Its your responsibility to enforce rules instead of partying with your young ones or letting them go astray.
Where are the parents/guardians? Shouldn’t THEY be the ones to see that their children do not attend events inappropriate for their ages?
I agree 100% so little children believe they big man and woman…. no wete fête for all you go miss teen instead that is all you age group
I saw a video of wet fete last year and it shocked me at what goes on in that fete, believe it is X-rated. This is certainly not my show.
u too hypocrite,i bet u does watch paw
Why do some of you like to call people hypocrite? Are you insinuating that you are not a hypocrite? People have a right to their views. They have different preferences and what type of show they are interested in and feel comfortable to attend. What suits one does not suit the other and vice versa. I would not be interested in such a show. Be broadminded.
They bring their X-Rated show to Dominica and what they observed performed elsewhere. Another godless and promiscuous set who will one day bring down the wrath of God. I do believe that such shows should be prohibited.
Cool out fada. Doe let me call picky
““Please, Wet Fete is a big people party, small people party is around the Savannah … grown mature folks that have a right to vote, they can enter Wet Fete.”
Hate me, like me if you wish; I do not care!
However, I will for the rest of my life expose the stupidity of our people, the language in the quote above I would expect to come from an uneducated peasants, however, some peasants would have chosen a better choice of words.
“Wet feet is a big people party.”
How does one define “big people and small people;” is someone referring to the size, height, and weight of an individual in order to determine a big person, in comparison to a small person?
Should one consider a fat five hundred pound individual an big person, and some weighing a hundred fifty pounds a small or little person?
I mean such comments are so and dumb, it simply makes absolutely no sense, because someone can be seventy years old, and stands four feet two inches tall, and weigh ninety pounds. Someone can be seventeen, or nineteen years old, stands six feet four inches tall, and weigh two hundred pounds, that is very common, and natural!
Another bit of crap here is that students are not welcome! I get the impression that there is discrimination involved here, because I assume that most of the students who attends the Dominica State College, by now are all mature adults, of which most of them may be over twenty years old; so, are the people who coined this despicable fraise suggesting that people in their twenty’s are little people.
How stupid can we get?
People are human beings making up a group, or assemble, or linked by a common interest. So how do we define “big people , and small little people.” If the person said adults only, no children allowed, that would be better understood.
I see black on black discrimination, or shall I say Dominicans discriminating against Dominicans here!

He didn’t just end on big people party… if u were so educated u would read further… he said people who have the right to vote…so in other words persons who a 18 and older… ally Dominicans just fast.. chupess
You could have made a constructive criticism here, but instead I see discrimination against someone who may not be able to speak the language properly. I have noticed a few errors in your post, Mr Imperfect Perfectionist. Next time you may want to edit a few times before posting. However I do agree with the point you were trying to make, if not how you went about saying it. I already know you will criticise my post, so prove me wrong.
Well, if you pointed out my exact diction or grammar you considered wrong, perhaps I would be in a better position not to make the same error in the future.
I remember a little boy who have grown into a man, who had some difficulties spelling a word when he was a kid, when he discovered he had difficulties spelling the word, he drew it to the attention of one of his parents, and asks the parent to tell him how the word is spelt.
The parent responded be telling the little boy, “I don’t know, you are the one going to school, you should know how to spell it.”
Do not be surprised to learn to this very day that little boy has grown into a man, yet he still does not know how to spell that word; the man is not a dunce, or dumb, he is very successful, highly educated, and I may say academically.
However, I suspect from the time his parent told him he should know, somehow, in some psychological way he developed a mental block where it pertains to the word, hence for all of his adult life, and with all his successes, he still cannot spell that word!
So if you do not identify my error, I may continue to make the same mistake again, and again! I am open to learning, and correction, if you can teach me something, I will gladly accept your correction.

The question here is how stupid can YOU be? it’s obvious the quote “Wet fete is a big people party.” is a figure of speech. I assume that you’re from this beautiful island and you of all people should understand our slang. Actually that you don’t even need to be from dominica to understand what he meant. Take Huggies’ slogan “I’m a big kid now.” for example…the children in the commercials are nowhere near “big” or “fat” they use is as a figure of speech. the children feel as if they are “mature” because they can use the toilets etc. on their own. I’m sorry to say Sir/Ms…but you are an ignorant individual who wanted to rant on something.
“Wet fete is a big people party.” is a figure of speech. ”
If you believe that to be a figure of speech, I see no need to argue with you, less I become like you, so I am happy to remain as stupid as I am!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Let me prove to you between you and I who is stupid; or the most stupid.
I’ll do that by saying when we speak figuratively, we are representing by a figure, or resemblance, something emblematic, of or relating to representation of form, or figure. Expressing one thing in terms normally denoting another with which it may be regarded as analogous, or shall I say metaphorically.
Remember I did not trouble you, you are the one who term me stupid, see what you can do with what is written above and decide which of us is just outright stupid!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
“When a person says something that is not meant to be taken literally — or meaning exactly what the words say — the phrase is being used figuratively. For example, a boy might say, “When I heard the ice cream truck outside, I flew out the front door and out to the street.” Of course, the boy did not fly, he merely ran quickly, so the word “flew” is being used figuratively. When someone says, “I died laughing,” he or she did not actually die, so the phrase is only a figure of speech.
When people use figures of speech, they often do not point them out, especially when they are obvious. For example, a woman probably would not say, “I froze to death, figuratively speaking,” because if she had actually frozen to death, she would not be speaking. Likewise, the boy who “flew out the front door” would not need to point out that he cannot actually fly. At times, though, it is necessary to include a disclaimer such as “figuratively speaking” to clarify whether something is being said literally or figuratively.”
dodds leave tilly show alone! you up in AMERICA where you most likely visiting brothels and strip clubs on a daily basis. I like the vibes jus want to open a strip club in DA to lven up the vibes in the country
Anonymous, I maintain a certain amount of class and discipline, I refuse to associate myself with filth: I do not associate with anything which could cause me to develop into someone perverted. I have never been to a strip club in the thirty plus years I am living in Los Angeles.
I have never seen a sign which reads Brothel or whatever that is in my travels around all of North America, which comprise only America, Canada, and Mexico
Not even in sin city (Las Vegas) have I ever seen anything which remotely resembles a “Brothel” there might be in existent, but I do not know where. When I travel, I my choice of place to stay, are the largest, and most expensive Hotels, that choice assures my safety whiles I am asleep.
If I need to see a nude body, I have more than two girlfriends, as a matter of fact plenty women whom I can see nude anytime I wish oui!
In the privacy of my home.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahah!
I hope you are amused.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
If you were such an educated individual you would realize that it should be whilst you are asleep not whiles you are asleep
of course when people go away and stick their tail away they thing they are all that. STUPES.
WHy don’t you come back to Dominica and Educate these people. ANd EVERRYYYYYYYYYWHERE you go to you will hear people speak their own broken english. SO you are going to bash the entire caribbean for speaking in their dialect?
PLEASE, stay where you are.
Its a good thing they are finally stepping up and are at least doing something about these young kids in these events! That cannot happen in other countries! Some caribbean islands include so who are u to bash him for his english!? STUPES.
Included*,
I comprehend what was stated. They failed to mention “For adults only” and that youths are not welcomed. There are times “big people” and “little people” are mentioned for adults and children. Everyone knows what these words mean.
That’s right tilly speak to people in words they can understand… No minors in wet fete besides what business children have participating in wet fete anyway
allu doh hearing? doh come! doh come what so difficult to understand? geez man
This is called WET FETE what do i wear? tuxido?bathing suit? three piece suit ? work unifoem or my birthday suit? I hope the 77year olds like myself do not have flappy wrinkle belies and smell like bengay
This fete sounds scandalous.
Then Mr. Tilly, I think it’s high time we start asking to see ID at the entrances in order to prove who is underage or not, because these days with all those hormones and the chemicals in the foods we eat and make-up use, a 14 year-old can easily be mistaken for a 20 year-old.
And which ID would you ask for? Passport? And if I don’t have a passport? Social Security Card? Which card should he ask for in the absence of a national ID card that everyone is required to have?
That is so true!!!!!! Also there are persons who look young but yet still they have their age, like me.
It is so so simple. Have patrons produce ID at the gate and Have a MATURE! RESPONSIBLE! SERIOUS! individual at the gate checking ID’s and deciding who enters. Very simple. The vulgarity and wildness in the wet fete is certainly adults only, lets get serious here.
One of the most vulgar events I have ever witnessed in the nature isle
Wish it would not take place in Dominica. Some people can change a country and for the worst. I find such an event is out of place in Dominica.
Well if “young people” aren’t allowed one has to ask themselves what kind of nastiness that going in there… Seriously you adults need to learn to conduct yourselves properly and have some pride and self respect! Do something of substance like starting an enterprise, co-operative or projects for young people to do so they can be preoccupied! This is coming from a 15 Y/O
Is not all events that for kids… that doesn’t mean is nastiness that going on.. chupess.. small minded fool.
So tell us! What is going on?
I agree with you 15 Y/O. You have sense and morals. Tell it like it is. The D/can authorities should not allow it. I visualize what will be occurring there and to advertise it that the youths know about it. They are a bad example to the youths. Lord, have mercy!
for a grown man hosting an event of that nature is that the way he speaks. Could’t they hire a PR firm to do proper public relations to get the point across in a more organize manner. SMH
One can detect the uneducated ones based on the way they deduced their thoughts.
I sense that person lack cognitive thinking,hence he is reduced to an empiric factual.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Francisco I sensed that you went into the Thesaurus and/or research.
zor but why is on here you come and have court? i scrolling and as if i tired see your name free up lol
Well based on your own description of an uneducated person I guess you are uneducated also
The boss
I was saying the same thing, he speaks very bad.
@bomboclat
If you’re going to criticize someone for the way he speaks, you should be prepared to demonstrate that you speak better. From what you have written (“he speaks very bad”), I don’t see that you are a better speaker than Tilly. We all speak and understand the colloquial jargon. Give the man a break.
MY PR firm is available
au wa sav sa..pas d’enfants de l’ecole
Is “Picky” a featured guest artist at the wet-fete?
Really though ? Uhm last year was the samething…when adults start behaving like adult’s then children will have no reason not behave like children
every year tilly u saying that…last year u said that and 70 percent of people in the wet fete was teenagers…so less talk and more action plz mr tilly…..
The police should arrest him including the teenagers. Teenagers should know that this type of fete is not for them, people of their underage. If this occurred in Canada and the police is aware of it, this is what they would do and close down the event and charged the organizers. They would end up in the Court.
I remember going to wet fet during my teenage years at high school. It was fun. Interesting how it has ‘evolved’ over the years into ‘what’ it has ‘proudly’ become.
You know, i like that vibes Tilly. Let the world know in advance that your event is for adults, not children.
However, your warning now has me scratching my head and wondering…What exactly happens at your wet fet? It suddenly hits me that your wet fet is probably a venue for nuff lewd behaviour. Doh get me wrong, fada. I am no prude, but as i read the article i started wondering that maybe what goes on there is so x-rated that you have to ban persons under 18 years. Is it that bad?
Anyways, all da best. All shall eat. I eh shooting down your fet.
I agree. Children always want to grow up too fast. Being an adult aint all what its cracked up to be. Children need to take their time go school or learn a trade so that they can sustain themselves in adulthood. It ready so hard to make it in life nowadays.
I agree with you. There is a time and place for everything as it is for children. Parents should not allow them out at a certain time of the night. They should have a curfew.
My parents were a typical example. Children were children. This is the manner in which they brought up their children. As adults, we benefited from this discipline.
Instead of you people encouraging this movement you’ll are showing your idiocy by saying people do still get in, so so what.
Go to America, Europe and these places you’ll praise and wish to go to, you’ll wouldn’t be drinking alcohol far-less to get into an event like this. So respect the moment and know your place.
I think it is time we start using IDs for such events. I am not sure if your first social security card is still free but i believe that if it is individuals should get them asap. For events where organizer don’t want to allow kids then IDs should be used to gain entry.
That way you can better control things such as entrance into nightly activities, purchasing or alcohol etc.
So college children cannot go?
They said able to vote. So 18 plus.
Tilly, to really let students stay out ask for id. Most adults have a social security card, or driver’s license.
“I am talking to a certain set of people, you see the younger generation, those that going to high school? They got a show in the park called Teenage Pageant, we are asking you to please go and support your show,” he stated. “Please, Wet Fete is a big people party, small people party is around the Savannah … grown mature folks that have a right to vote, they can enter Wet Fete.” I understand what you saying but sadly it still have grown folks that do not know how to conduct themselves and will do a set of nastiness.
dats y no kids allowed. get it
idiot read the comment wel1 ADULT act just like the kids and don’t know how to conduct themselves. I hope it will be cleaner than past times.
@My House is right. Kids banned so adults can do their “nastiness” (your words) in peace.
Times have changed in Dominica. It is noted not for the better. Do the youths not go to Church anymore?
That teenage pageant should be held in the afternoon to early evening or until sundown and then they should go home. These days children have too much freedom. You know what this could produce.
Parents must bring their children up in such a manner so that they are not out in the evenings. When they become adults they will have more than enough time to stay out late and go wherever they so wish and stay out for as long as they want.
That’s good for those teenagers!!!
Then again if you want to keep them out, pple must show thier ID’s upon entering.
Those teenagers already looking like hard back 30 year old, some of them, so when they’re out of uniform you can’t even tell the difference between a 16 year old or if is a 30 year old..
I hope the show goes on good, with no violence and women portraying some self respect.
Big up to the Wet Fete!
At such a time, they should be sleeping in their bed.
Oh please
The same people and security going to make their friends enter without searching and those same guys going to make he young high school girls enter.I have been to wet fete And anyone else that has. Has seen it too.
All this is just talk.
Tilly you always saying that… but when u see the money u eating your words so zip it…..
yes, Tilly just being sanctimonious. That fete low grade entertainment anyway for sad people with no class they calling voyeurs.
He/she should be charged for hosting such an event.
I agree with you 100% sir. Dem lil girls especially have too much big woman ways. These days all lil girls wanna be in make up and heels.Let them go and support their peers. Their parents should see to it that the do.
well since is a wet-fete and ppl can’t bring there wallets and bags, how will the security verify age?
You have pockets right? Your ID is made of plastic right? Don’t be stupid.
Well, they checking their “credentials” nuh.
Are they going naked? Do they not have their clothes on with pockets?
Was about time. Let children be in children activities and grown ppl be in grown ppl activities
I hope there won’t be no eggs on legs in the competition or 10lbs of food in 1 pound bags.
Same story every year and every year students in wet fete yawn!!!!!!
Lol! Money talks.
The police should send them home. They are too young to attend an adult function which the police should also raid, shut down and charge the organizers. Please do not tell me that the police authorities are lax and give approval for this fete.
