It was a Rise and Shine Grenada Jouvert style that saw persons gathered in large numbers from approximately 5:00am.

Persons came out in their various costumes while some oiled their skin. Others came equipped with buckets of water and coloured powder.

As soon as the sun came out; however, the gyrating crowd began to thin out.

Ninth District Representative Hon Vincent O. Wheatley had said a Rise & Shine must happen and it did, albeit not in the usual way.

According to reports, there will be a small Parade this afternoon, starting at Dixie’s Restaurant on Lee Road and ending at Raul ‘Jougo’ Sprauve Festival Village.

Persons made the best of the situation to get a good dance workout in at the Rise and Shine on Virgin Gorda this morning, April 18, 2022.
