In a stirring moment of intergenerational connection, 95 young cricketers from across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines experienced the thrill of a lifetime as they interacted with some of the greatest names in West Indies cricket history during a special development session organised under the banner of the Emancipation Cricket Festival (ECF), held from 31st July to 3rd August, 2025.
In a deeply symbolic and celebratory gesture, the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines officially renamed the Double Decker Stand at the Arnos Vale Sporting Stadium to “The Legends Pavilion”, in honour of the trailblazing Caribbean cricket heroes who etched their names in global sporting history and inspired generations across the region.
As part of the national Emancipation Month celebrations, the Ministry of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Sustainable Development and Culture, in collaboration with the Diamondites Community Organisation, proudly presents the Community Wake, Thursday, 31st July, at 10:00 p.m. in Diamond Village.
