Castries, Saint Lucia: Ernest Hilaire – Deputy Prime Minister of Saint Lucia, has expressed his joy and happiness as the nation gears up for the biggest-ever upcoming Jazz and Arts Festival. He took it to invite his fellow Saint Lucians with heart-warming greetings to actively participate in the festival’s events and showcase their creative and innovative skills.
According to the updates, Deputy Prime Minister Hilaire took to his official social media account to extend his invitation to the residents and citizens of Saint Lucia while explaining the significance of their participation as the festival will be incomplete without their essential contribution.
