especially delighted to be part of the St. Barnabas Street Festival
as we pay tribute to the legacy and leadership of Bishop Gilbert
Thompson.
As someone who grew up deeply rooted in Bahamian culture,
and as a proud member of St. Agnes, I carry with me the example
of my parents, John and Rebecca Chipman, who dedicated their
lives to preserving and celebrating our heritage.
I’m excited to say the festival promises to be an unforgettable experience. While I won’t give away too much, I can assure you
that the entertainment line-up will feature some of the most
popular artists and talents our country has to offer. It’s going to
be a celebration of music, community, and spirit that you will
not want to miss.
Thank you again for inviting me to share in this joyous occasion. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you at the festival.”
