Last week, the Ministry of Tourism launched its second sizzling summer festival -Goombay Summer Festival - at Arawak Cay. The festival featured food, traditional Goombay dancing, friendly competitions, games, a Kiddie Corner and Junkanoo.
But the highlight of the night was a performance by Bahamian legendary music artist Ronnie Butler to close out the night.
Entertainment Coordinator in the Ministry of Tourism Preston 'Puzzle' Wallace said this week is going to be even better.
"Last week was nothing short of amazing. Those who missed it last week will not want to miss it this week. Can you believe we had the legendary Ronnie Butler on stage? He was out there doing his thing. We had the Goombay dancers doing out their thing. Goombay and Junkanoo have two different beats. We try to capture the difference because people will think that Goombay is the same as Junkanoo," he said. "Each week, we are going to get higher and higher."
