After being postponed due to the passing of Tropical Storm Emily, the Delta Petroleum Cultural Street Parade brought down the curtains in Nevis.

The parade saw a mixture of colours and costumes worn by children and adults alike; dancing in the streets of Nevis to music played by a number of electronic bands. The troupes and bands on parade were also judged on that same day.

A number of songs were put forward by the electronic bands on Nevis in the Road March Contest.
