THIS weekend is going to be a little busier than normal, as the summer feting starts kicking into gear!

You can prep for Saturday by getting tipsy up at Giftland, or taking in some amazingly cheap cocktails in Kitty.
Also, the National Hip Hop and Poetry finals goes down tonight, and from past experience, that’s going to be one packed- out event!
Anyway, if you’re looking for a whole new atmosphere, taking a trip to Region One for the ‘Moruca Expo’ just might be what you need!
And, come Saturday, your options get a little wider. Another boat cruise let’s you party the night away on the Demerara River, or you could head on down to Diamond for a pool party where a “bumper inspector” will be on site.
Then there’s a heated war set for GFC Ground. But don’t worry; you don’t have to enlist! Just catch the battle from the side line! Or you could spend the night as a “Soca Soldier” over at the Palm Court.
Hikers Hockey Club is rolling out another retro party. On Sunday, you can mellow out at the Ramada Princess Hotel pool with some barbecue.
