Other entertainers on the show include the versatile 2-of-a-Kind harmony duo, and rising female vocalist, Nicky Blaze. There will also be performances from the Drumming Fingers Children’s Dance and Poetry Troupe, a crowd favorite from previous Garvey Extravaganzas.
The event will also commemorate the 134th anniversary of Garvey’s birth.
