Two major events scheduled for next month have fallen prey to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the Holetown Festival has been shelved, the island’s biggest agricultural exhibition, Agrofest, has been postponed.
Public relations officer for the Holetown Festival, Jamar “The Star” Brown, in a release on Monday, said the festival, carded for February 13 to 20, had been cancelled as a result of the recent developments and measures imposed by the Government.
“Whilst only a short time ago we felt optimistic that February 2021 was far away to confidently proceed with our plans, as it stands today we cannot guarantee the one thing that our exhibitors and sponsors trust us above all else to deliver – namely a large-scale, high-quality-hosted buyer attendance,” he said.
