Community Development Department spreading joy at Christmas

The Community Development Department (CDD) is set to bring festive cheer to communities across Barbados with its annual “Spreading Joy at Christmas” motorcade.

This two-day event, scheduled for December 17 and 18, promises to be a colourful celebration filled with music, performances, and holiday characters.

The motorcade will travel through multiple parishes between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. On December 17, the staff will visit St. Michael, passing through Kensington Lodge, New Orleans, Country Park Towers, Jackmans, Friendship, The Grotto, Bayville, London Bourne Towers, and Nelson Street.

On December 18, the festivities will move to Christ Church with stops at Silver Hill, Gall Hill, Parish Land, and Silver Sands. The activity will culminate on the same day when the motorcade heads to St. Philip, visiting Rock Hall, Harlington, St. Marks, and Church Village.

Acting Chief Community Development Officer, Yolande Skeete, said: “The Christmas season is about joy, sharing, and strengthening the bonds within our communities. We hope this motorcade brings smiles to faces young and old and spreads the warmth of the season across the island.”

Residents are encouraged to look out for the motorcade, enjoy the festive sights and sounds, and celebrate safely with their families.
