CABLE & WIRELESS CREOLE IN THE PARK ™ -  A PREMIER DOMINICAN EVENT

Cable & Wireless Creole in the Park, now in its 5th year, was created from the need for a daytime event during Dominica's national independence celebrations, culminating with the annual World Creole Music Festival (WCMF).in late October.  This event has proven to be a superb opportunity to increase stay over tourists during that period.

The Cable & Wireless Creole in the Park is a four-day event held at the historic Botanical Gardens in the capital Roseau, from 12:00 to 7:00 pm, featuring simultaneous performances from local and regional artists on 3 stages. The success of this event is strictly due to the complete management, implementation and dedication of the Cable & Wireless team. Working with key stakeholders and business partners, Cable & Wireless has developed this activity to a level where many patrons are returning to Dominica specifically for this event. Creole in the Park has implications for commerce by providing business opportunities for local enterprises and has reaffirmed Cable & Wireless' position as the key communications and corporate entity.

The event is family oriented, blending traditional Jing Ping music with steelpan, drums, bouyon, and the delectable aromas of local cuisine. Food vendors offer freshly prepared Creole dishes with a spectacular, dizzying array of choices. Interactive fun, family activities, art and craft, and rich culture compliment the events creole music amidst the natural ambiance of 'The Gardens' as it is popularly known. Cable & Wireless also embraces this opportunity to recognize two deserving individuals who have contributed significantly to Dominica's creole culture with the Cable & Wireless Creole Lifetime Award. A small entrance contribution is received at the gate and the proceeds are donated to the Forestry & Parks Division for the development of the Botanical Gardens.

Cable & Wireless Creole in the Park provides both visitor revenue and the promotion of Dominica. These are of major significance to Dominica's tourism and will provide substantial future rewards to the island. With the continued success of Cable & Wireless Creole in The Park, it is expected that the global exposure of Dominica will increase.
