As the annual Fête Isidore celebrations kick into full swing this weekend, one of the most anticipated new additions to the calendar – Isidore Sunday Chill – is set to welcome hundreds of attendees to Dominica’s Grand Bay district for a day of cross-community connection and family-friendly fun.
Scheduled to launch at 12 PM on Sunday, May 24 at the Geneva Playing Field, the event is the product of a collaborative partnership between four key stakeholders: the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF), the national Government of Dominica, the Grand Bay Village Council, and local events promoter Cool Vibes Entertainment.
In an official statement shared across the CDPF’s social media channels, event organizers outlined the core mission behind the community gathering: to strengthen interpersonal bonds between different groups in the area, foster broad social unity, and create space for all residents of Dominica to celebrate their shared culture and community.
“Get ready for an unforgettable day of fun, culture, sports, and family vibes at Isidore Sunday Chill – Grand Bay Fête Isidore Celebration,” the statement read.
To deliver on that promise, organizers have curated a full lineup of activities tailored to guests of all ages, spanning competitive sports, casual recreation, and live entertainment. The sports schedule is headlined by a friendly exhibition football match between the CDPF team and local side South City FC, alongside a rounders tournament and a high-stakes domino competition pitting Grand Bay Best against a police representative team. For guests seeking lower-key recreation, the day will also include open bingo sessions and casual card game areas.
Young attendees will have their own dedicated space at the event’s children’s zone, which will feature popular play attractions including a bouncing castle, recreational slides, and interactive appearances by themed costumed characters. Throughout the entire day, local entertainment outfit T Rental Sound will oversee the event’s music programming, with scheduled DJs set to provide continuous, crowd-pleasing tracks to keep energy high.
Organizers have extended an open invitation to all members of the public, encouraging attendees to bring along their children, friends, and extended family members to join in the day’s celebrations and connect with fellow community members.
