A strong symbolic representation that defines the independence celebratory period, the light tunnel, comes to life every evening — a beacon for all on this journey of progression and evolution through the years. Residents near to the location and visitors alike share the sentiment that it is truly a mesmerising visual which profoundly deepens the sense of patriotism, unity, and pride.
The information plaques strategically positioned along the Carenage and throughout the light tunnel showcase the pivotal moments and figures who have shaped the nation over the past 5 decades. The plaques offer a captivating glimpse into and encourage learning and appreciation of Grenada’s rich history in a fun and interactive manner.
The Carenage is an exceptional tribute to the nation’s 50-year journey which encapsulates the essence of this milestone celebration “One Journey, One People, One Future.” As one resident remarked, “We cannot, we must not, go back from this.”
