Antigua and Barbuda is gearing up to host a one-of-a-kind spiritual and musical experience next summer, as legendary Jamaican reggae-gospel trailblazer George Nooks is set to take the stage for the second annual Grace for Grace Gala. Scheduled for Sunday, June 28, 2026, at the John E. St. Luce venue and kicking off at 6:00 p.m., the invitation-only styled gathering is curated by Pastor Lisa Grace Harris, who has designed the evening as a immersive blend of worship, fine dining, community connection, and transformative ministry under the event banner of The Bridgeton Experience.
The gala’s core theme, “Grace for Grace,” draws its inspiration directly from the scripture John 1:16, which reads “And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.” This biblical foundation frames the entire event around the concept of endless, abundant divine grace that meets people’s evolving needs across every season of life, rather than being a one-time blessing reserved for specific moments or breakthroughs. Attendees can expect an evening of intentional reflection, grateful celebration, and connection with fellow believers and music lovers alike.
As the headlining guest and performer, Nooks brings a decades-long legacy of artistry that crosses between mainstream reggae and purpose-driven gospel music. A household name across the Caribbean and a beloved figure for global fans of Caribbean music, Nooks is far more than an entertainer: his discography is defined by songs that uplift hurting hearts, strengthen spiritual faith, and encourage persistence through life’s hardest trials. His iconic hit “Ride Out Your Storm” has become a enduring anthem of hope for individuals navigating grief, uncertainty, personal struggle, and spiritual challenge, with his ministry through music touching multiple generations of listeners.
For attendees, the event offers a rare opportunity to experience Nooks’ powerful vocals and heartfelt ministry live. His appearance on the Antigua stage is already generating widespread excitement, drawing interest from long-time reggae fans, active worshippers, and community members who celebrate authentic Caribbean musical excellence. Beyond the performance, Pastor Harris frames the gala as a warm, sincere invitation to the entire nation of Antigua and Barbuda to gather in celebration of life, enduring legacy, spiritual ministry, and the goodness of God, creating a meaningful experience that extends far beyond a typical concert or gathering.
