On our Independence day, the main attraction is an Independence day parade early in the morning, by different organizations in the country. Many people like to go out and watch this parade. After that, people mostly spend the time at the beach or going to picnics and outings with their families. Most people also like to wear our Independence colours on that day.
Where the eats are concerned, we would eat mostly local treats, like coconut bread, cassava pone, conkies, fishcakes and bakes, and sugar cakes. The drinks would be our locally made drinks, like ginger beer, mauby and lemonade. Some people would make these drinks and treats, while others would just buy them. For dinner, we do not usually have anything special like dedicated recipes or foods like turkey or any other special dish.
