The Old Yard (formerly Viey La Cou)

The Department of Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA), The University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine, will be hosting The Old Yard (formerly Viey La Cou) on Sunday 12th February, 2012, from 12:00 noon.

Situated in the Gayelle at DCFA, Agostini Street, St. Augustine - an actual yard - complete with an architectural style reminiscent of long ago, this new event promises to offer a dynamic mix of a journey into cultural history and a carnival masquerade showcase within the format of a heritage fair. Featured will be our very own traditional Carnival masqueraders – the Bats, the Minstrels and Burrokeets, Midnight Robber, Dame Lorraine and many others.

The Old Yard gives patrons a slice of this cultural history, and offers a showcase of Carnival masquerade traditions beyond their historical location while stimulating contemporary imaginations. The young and old are therefore encouraged to come and experience the meeting of masquerade traditions in The Old Yard.

Tickets for The Old Yard priced at $50.00 for adults and $20.00 for children can be purchased from Department of Creative and Festival Arts at 663-2222 (direct line); 662-2002 ext. 3791/2510/2376 or email Marissa.Brooks@sta.uwi.edu
