You may like to take part in the Yurumein procession - which re-enacts the arrival of the Garinagu to these shores, but this year, you'll have to enjoy it from our archive, because settlement day activities will be decidedly low key.

An announcement from the National Garifuna Council says it has made the decision to host virtual activities. The focus of this year's events will be Garifuna identity, spirituality and perseverance. NGC branches countrywide will be planning and hosting various virtual activities to honour the contributions of past and present Garinagu and to showcase the vibrant Garifuna culture, language, music and dance.

The theme chosen for this year is "Garinagu: United and Strong, moving forward despite challenges."
