The streets of Bridgetown came alive with vibrant energy on Saturday night as Courts celebrated its 60th anniversary with a spectacular Lighted Parade. Children’s eyes gleamed with excitement, and families braved the light drizzle to witness the dazzling procession. The event, a heartfelt gesture of gratitude from the brand to the public, transformed Broad Street into a canvas of light, color, and festive cheer. The night sky lit up with a stunning fireworks display, leaving onlookers in awe as they struggled to choose between the mesmerizing show above and the illuminated floats below. Each float told a unique story, with Barbadian culture taking center stage through the ‘I’m a Bajan’ float, where dancers in sailor-inspired costumes performed traditional Landship maneuvers. Disney-themed floats, including ‘The Little Mermaid’ and ‘Frozen,’ captivated the youngest spectators, who waved enthusiastically as their favorite characters passed by. The parade also embraced the Christmas spirit, with the ‘Star of Bethlehem’ float depicting the three wise men and angels. However, the loudest cheers erupted for the float featuring Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and their cheerful elves, embodying the magic of the holiday season. One attendee shared with Barbados TODAY, ‘This parade was a wonderful idea. It’s a perfect family outing and brings life back to Bridgetown. Unlike the Courts drive-in concert, this allows city residents, many of whom are Courts customers, to walk from home and enjoy the event.’ She added, ‘As a consumer, we truly appreciate it. It would be fantastic if the National Cultural Foundation hosted a concert in Bridgetown during December to attract more people and revitalize the city.’
