Georges
The musical notes of the saxophonist Kamau Georges, accompanied by the Two Smooth Band drifted in the crisp December air from the band stand of the beautifully Christmas decorated and relaxing outdoor of the Tortola Pier Park (TPP).
In 12 days it would be Christmas Eve and the Management of the TPP rolled out their 12-day- Christmas list of activities from a special Christmas party for the children to musical entertainment, to extended shopping hours.

Leasing and Marketing Manager at the TPP, Meslyn Allan has stretched out an invitation to all to come to the park.
She said it is the first Christmas of the facility and with the February 16th anniversary coming up, they wanted to do something special and to create that Christmas environment, for locals, cruise passengers and overnight visitors alike to come and experience the park.
Fifty-nine business places are taking part and will be giving off special deals during that time. Shopping hours will be prolonged until 9 pm on Fridays and Saturdays to facilitate that.
