By sometime this weekend the sister isles, nation and the world would official learn that there will be no Parang Festival this year.
According to an executive member, the deci-sion was taken to officially call-off the 2020 event after efforts to convince the various bands to participate in a virtual event this year failed to receive the necessary support.
The once vibrant and heavily in demand festival, suffered in recent years from poor management which resulted in a steady decline in participating bands.
However, in the last two years, there were some positive signs of resurgence through the direct involvement of the Festivals Board and a new management committee often referred to as an executive.
