Black San Bang a lang Festival

Description

During the month of April the town of Sandy Point has once again been earmarked as one of the major events on the national calendar as BLACK SAN Bang-A-Lang, in its third year of existence is arguably one of the most anticipated within the Federation. The festival organized by the group of community change-makers, SPIRIT, will run from late March to early April at various venues across Sandy Point. Originally un-veiled in November 2010, Black San' rolled out sensational events, all having a unique twist, to cover three weeks in April, including educational and family-oriented events as well as entertainment and care-free fetes. The complete re-branding of the festival began with the renaming process that represents the origin of the town and pays homage to our renewable deposit of black sand protruding into the ocean down at historic Belle Tête. It was our hope of ensuring that the festival's name represented a landmark synonymous with the town as well as providing a platform to showcase Sandy Point to a broad cross-section of potential visitors. Rave reviews have suggested that we were able to achieve both feats. ‘Black San Bang A Lang’, which encompasses multiple events ranging from formal performances and late-night club venues to intimate late-night open-air venues and picnic style events, has re-ignited community spirit not only in Sandy Point but St. Kitts at large. Now in its third installment, its primed to rekindle Pride, Virtues and Civics in all of its patrons.
