PHILIPSBURG:— In a momentous step forward, the Honorable Prime Minister Dr. Luc Mercelina marked the official launch of the long-awaited reconstruction of the Jocelyn Arndell Festival Village—fondly known as “Carnival Village”—on Wednesday. The Prime Minister himself operated heavy equipment to commence the demolition phase, signaling a renewed era for this beloved cultural landmark.
Standing before a crowd of distinguished guests, cultural stakeholders, and community members, Dr. Mercelina reflected on the significance of this reconstruction. “This is more than repairing physical structures; this is about restoring a cornerstone of Sint Maarten’s culture, identity, and economy,” he declared. “Carnival Village is not just a venue—it’s where we celebrate who we are as a people.”
