Successful Debut for the Waterfront Summer Celebration

Hundreds gather at the Georgetown Waterfront Park Sunday.

Music and the enticing smell of grilled meats cut through the large crowd on Sunday during the first ever Waterfront Summer Celebration.

The festival, held at the Waterfront Harbour, was the culprit for the larger-than usual weekend crowd in Georgetown, drawing people in for food, games, face painting and the highly anticipated water balloon toss.

People lined up on the dock for boat rides and balloon animals while others danced to the Jamaican sounds of the steel drums.
