They further added that the funds and the revenue collected from this concert will later be donated to the Government of Grenada’s Hurricane Relief Fund for the rebuilding of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

The authorities also urged everyone to participate in all the Carnival activities in order to help the government in generating the necessary funds required for the relief efforts of the Beryl. They promised to stand with the Government of Grenada in these challenging times to help those who have been left homeless.

The Spicemas Corporation also extended gratitude to all the stakeholders, including the carnival bands, event promoters, the hotel industry, entertainers, vendors, sponsors and all patrons locally and abroad for their unwavering commitment towards executing the carnival successfully this year.
