Last night's musical & dance performances at the Art & Culture Fair included many talented local musicians and dance troupes, and featured the Belgian dance troupe 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝘇𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗺, who are fifteen dancers aged 14-17. The photos before dark of the Municipal Band performing while the dancers gathered behind-the-scenes are screenshots from a video by Tony Garcia.
The fair took place on the newly renovated Town Square and included many artisans selling at tables, food vendors, a nice Caribbean breeze, and young isleños & isleñas honing their driving skills in pedal cars in the open area.
