A NEW SPONSOR and a later start are just two of the changes coming to Crop Over City Fest and Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes on June 27.

Now in its second year, City Fest has a new title sponsor in First Citizen’s Bank. And in a departure from last year’s 10 a.m. kickoff time, the festivities to officially launch the Sweetest Summer Festival will kick off at midday instead.

Broad Street will be closed to pedestrian traffic and will be the hub for most of the activities happening between Jubilee Gardens and Heroes Square on the day. Shoppers and “limers” can also catch some of the activities in Swan Street.

The event was launched this morning at First Citizens, Broad Street. (YB)
