The Castle Bruce Family and Friends Reunion 2025 will be launched in Glu Glu Castle Bruce on Sunday 1st September under the theme “Se Plas Nou” (“It’s Our Place”); commencing the promotion for the highly anticipated week-long event expected to draw Castle Bruce natives, their extended families and friends from communities around Dominica, the Caribbean and the world.
Reunion Local Coordinator Jefferson Drigo sees the launch as a springboard of interest in the 2025 Reunion scheduled for August 10-17, 2025.
“This launch is going to let everyone know what this Reunion is all about. It will be the start of us getting the word out that this major activity will be taking place in our community.”
The launch will feature remarks from the Parliamentary Representative for the Castle Bruce Constituency, Hon. Octavia Alfred, as well as representatives from the Ministries of Tourism and Community Development. Invited guests will include the Castle Bruce Village Council and parliamentary representatives from surrounding communities. There will be cultural performances from Castle Bruce youth. The highlight will be the reveal of the official week of activities and official banner for the 2025 Reunion.
The Castle Bruce Family and Friends Reunion 2025 was created as a much-needed follow up to the mother of all community reunions, the Castle Bruce Reunion of 2004- spearheaded at that time by then Parliamentary Representative Loreen Bannis Roberts and Jacinta Bannis. There was a second reunion in 2011.
For 2025, organisers say the aim is the same- to reunite persons from Castle Burce through food, music, culture and history.
PRO for the 2025 Reunion Ayeola George says its “a reintroduction of the community to those who have been gone for a while. An opportunity for their children, spouses, friends to get to know the village and for everyone as a collective to enjoy each other through shared experiences-good, church, culture, natural environment and more.”
On Sunday viewers will also be introduced to the local organising committee as well as the Diaspora organising committee which is chaired by Mr. Anthony Drigo.
The launch will commence at 4:30P.M. on Sunday 1st September in Glu Glu. All are invited.
