Love the unique masks at Maskanoo tonight at Grace Bay
What a fabulous evening down on Grace Bay where the hugely anticipated 2nd annual Maskanoo was held. We thoroughly enjoyed the music and great island entertainment, kids and adults of all ages with and without masks, food and even face painting for the kids. Grace Bay Road was lined with vendors selling local food, drinks, arts and crafts and everyone turned out for all the fun and excitement.
Diamond plays the ripsaw
There were adults and kids, tourists and residents chatting or walking, many dancing and having a great time as they enjoyed traditional ripsaw music played by the Island Boys and then we all listened to the awesome voice of Turks and Caicos’ own Barbara Johnson.
What a cutie...love those big eyes.
