Due to bad weather, ‘Culture Shock: a Cayman Nite’, the new monthly event celebrating all things local was cancelled. It was due to have taken place last Friday (31).

The organisers, Grass Piece Group, have announced the event will take place on Friday June 28th.      

Culture Shock is designed to be the pulse of Cayman.

Grass Piece Group is a local non-profit organization and it plans to revitalize George Town through a once monthly celebration of Cayman people, music, art and culture. The entrance is free. Children will have their own special area for fun and games and there will be lots of Caymanian food favourites at each event.

This month will feature vendors from North Side, who will sell favourites like fish tea, fish and fritters, conch, turtle, beef, cakes and local fruit juices. Aside from great food, the entertainers set for this inaugural event are local favourites the Red Bay Drummers, Shameka Clarke, Andy Blake and Swanky Kitchen Band.

A spokesperson for the Grass Piece Group said, “In so many other countries the capital is where all the excitement is. It’s as if you can feel the heartbeat of the city intensify as night falls. But here in Grand Cayman, after corporate business hours, George Town is eerily deserted and quiet; many have likened it to a ghost town. Part of the problem is that there is nothing to draw people in. Grass Piece management wants to change that and expects that these events will give locals a reason to fall in love with Town again. We want to bring excitement back to downtown George Town while re-building a sense of community, and we plan to do exactly that on the last Friday of every month.

“Imagine people simply enjoying each other’s company, like a good backyard cookout, and you have Culture Shock — people you love, conversation, laughter, games, music, and, of course, good ‘cook food’.  It will bring visitors and locals back to the capital for something fabulous each month. From arts and entertainment to local vendors and other surprises, there will always be something new to see.”
