“We Provided a Class Event” – Makhoul
This past weekend, the Antigua Recreation Grounds came alive, as the One Nation Music Festival 2025 unfolded over two nights.
Taking place on January 11th and 12th, the festival truly lived out its motto, “One People, One Love… One Nation,” and left audiences awestruck with standout performances from both local talents and international stars.
The decision to expand the festival into a two-night event turned out to be a fantastic choice, according to the organisers, attracting significant attention from the surrounding regions and positioning Antigua and Barbuda on the cultural map.
Chair of the Antigua and Barbuda Festival Commission, Ambassador Elizabeth Makhoul, shared her enthusiasm following the event, saying how happy she was with the success of the event.
Looking ahead, Makhoul mentioned that an immediate review process will be underway to assess the event’s success and identify potential areas for growth.
