For the first time in living memory, fisherfolk across the island are set to have a national festival of their own called the Barbados Fisherfolk Festival.Unlike the recently rebranded Oistins Fish Festival, this inaugural event will encompass every active fishing village, market and landing site across Barbados and each of them will get a day to host a range of fun and family friendly activities. The organisers of the event explained that June 29 is internationally recognised as Fisherman Day but they wanted to extend the activities beyond a day to the entire month.
