“We invite the public to come and watch the masterclass. Of course, there will be music, food, drinks and a celebratory dinner.”

Mr Jones highlighted a number of improvements designed to provide patrons with a more enjoyable experience than last year’s highly successful event.
“We listened to all the feedback and decided to use the entire MGR Park. We have increased the number of chefs from 30 to 50 and these chefs will prepare samples of various mango flavours. We have invited chefs from Antigua, Trinidad and Nevis to defend their crowns. Also, we will have a kids’ area, face painting and a mango health corner,” he said.
He revealed a new feature of the Mango Love event – a wrap-up concert, which will add to the entertainment line-up at the event.
Tickets start at EC$50 and can be purchased online www.nevismangofest.comAs tickets for this event are limited, the public is encouraged to purchase tickets early. There will be ten entrances to the event, with a VIP area with its own entrance to avoid long lines and wait times.
