ST. CROIX — The Department of Sports, Parks and Recreation is inviting the public to come and “immerse themselves” in the sounds of Quelbe, the official music of the U.S. Virgin Islands during “Quelbe At Sunset”, happening tomorrow at the Verne I. Richards Veteran Memorial Park, located on Strand Street in Frederiksted, from 4:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m., according to a press release VIPD issued on Friday.
The event, which is expected to be the first in a series of open-air concerts, was organized to “provide the residents and visitors of St. Croix the opportunity to experience, learn and enjoy the cultural aspects of the Virgin Islands through music,” the press release states.
Featured artists performing at Quelbe At Sunset on Sunday include Mind, Body & Soul Band, the Renaissance Band and cultural torchbearers, the world-renowned Stanley and the Ten Sleepless Knights.
