Since April 2015, Grenada has waited with bated breath for this “first of its kind one of a kind event” as dubbed during the year of waiting. The week of 5 April has come and gone to overwhelmingly positive feedback about the first and lasting positive impression this event has created in Grenada, the region and the rest of the world.
