Photos/Video: MWI Pre-Heritage Day Parade
The 20th Annual Pre-Heritage Day Parade took place yesterday evening [May 9], starting from the Mid-Atlantic Wellness Institute [MWI] in Devonshire.
Majorettes, dance groups, gombeys, service users from MWI’s Learning Disability and Vocational Rehabilitation Programmes, along with clients from Child and Adolescent Services, community homes, Orange Valley School and the Opportunity Workshop took part in the parade.
The occasion was originally created to provide an alternative for clients at MWI who were not able to attend the Bermuda Day festivities. Over the years, it has grown in popularity and has now become an event in its own right.
Juliette Basden, Activities Coordinator for the Learning Disability Programme and organizer of the annual event, said “This is a wonderful opportunity for our clients to express their creativity and celebrate the approaching Heritage Day with the public.”
