Will Fireworks return on the waterfront for New Years celebration?
THE Urban Development Corporation (UDC) is to once again stage Fireworks on the Waterfront, a pyrotechnic display that will follow a street jamboree on New Year’s Eve to herald the arrival of 2010. The corporation was able to secure approximately $6 million from a handful of sponsors to ensure this year’s event which will be somewhat different from last year’s staging. According to the UDC, the format of the event has been changed as a “cost containment strategy”. The cost, the corporation said, will be 50 per cent of what it was last year. “Beginning at 4:00 pm on Thursday, December 31, the event will comprise a grand street party reminiscent of Jamaica of former years, with music by ProSound Disco and DJ Squeeze. It will also feature a kiddies area for the young and young at heart with simulators, trampoleaper, trampoline and merry-go-round, and vending booths and stalls along Ocean Boulevard on the Kingston waterfront. Highlight of the event will be the fireworks display at midnight
