It has been the custom with these reviews to shed some light on the event in question. However an incident unrelated to the parade has the online blogs and some mainstream media personnel calling for the end to the parade. Before I address this allow me to highlight results and other areas of interest with respect to the event.

If there was ANY doubt or question concerning which promoter/s held the best and MOST AUTHENTIC J'OUVERT celebration, rest assured the answer was CLEARLY  DEFINITIVELY and RESOUNDINGLY made known on Friday July 29 2011 at the Continental Soiree.
