\"\"The Portsmouth Reunion kicked off on Saturday with a mini-carnival parade witnessed by hundreds of residents.<\/p>\n

The parade was highlighted by the participation of over 250 French nationals from Guadeloupe who formed several different costume bands.<\/p>\n

The reunion is being organized by Portsmouth Reunion Organization, Inc, a non-profit organization.<\/p>\n

Activities will continue until August 12.<\/p>\n

The parade started at the Roosevelt Douglas Primary School and made its way through Zicack, and eventually onto the streets of the main commercial area of Portsmouth Central.<\/p>\n

The reunion continues throughout this week with several family activities. There will also be a Belle March\u00e9 on Saturday together with a Market Day Revival at the Portsmouth Market.<\/p>\n

On Sunday there will be a Dinner and Dance, then a J’ouvert followed by August Monday Reunion Festivities in the second town.<\/p>\n

See photos below of the reunion parade.<\/p>\n
