The Nelson Mandela Park in Half Way Tree, St. Andrew will come alive with the sounds of cultural performances from December 13 to 19 as a number of local organizations have come together to stage what is expected to be the first of a quarterly event, Half Way Tree Live.
Conceptualiser Joan Webley of Nanook Enterprises, who was speaking at the official launch of Half Way Tree Live Monday night, said the event is the culmination of a 10-year dream of hers to reclaim Jamaica's parks and cultural space, which are greatly under-utilised, and infuse them with the vibrant culture and creativity of the Jamaican people.
The series of concerts, food demonstrations, story-telling sessions for children, as well as a craft village will run for the entire week.
Half Way Tree Live will feature performances by the Poetry Society of Jamaica, Manifesto Jamaica, Area Youth Foundation, students from Edna Manley, Root Cause's 'she Supm' and members of Jamaica Recording Industry Association.
