​Once again Nevis held its popular annual Mango & Food Festival to celebrate the island's delicious fruit. The festival attracted foodies from far and wide to come to the beautiful island to join in with the celebrations.

​The Nevis Mango & Food Festival ran from July 6th to the 9th and showcased the talents of both international and local chefs who participated in cooking demonstrations, cook-offs, master classes, and orchestrated dining experiences in various events taking place in Nevisian restaurants, beach bars, and hotels.

During the Nevis Mango & Food Festival, guests at Oualie Beach Resort were treated to a mango-themed feast complete with tantalising mango cocktails!

Chef Gary Urbanski created a tempting food menu including Mango Jerk Pork, Chicken in Mango Glaze, and Veal Chop in Mango Sauce, whilst the cocktail list served up Mango Rum Punch, Mango Margheritas, Mango Mojitos and Mango Smoothies, all of which went down a treat during this year's celebrations.

So this year we decided to reward good behavior!”  The winner of this year’s cash prize for best behavior was Mlishwa Browne.  The cash prize for most improved behavior was awarded to Kezaria Sutton. The Principal of the school, Danielle Wallace commented, “Determination is the key to Success: Endeavour to achieve was the theme for the 2017 St. James Primary School Graduation Ceremony. Being one of our main sponsors, we are extremely grateful to the Oualie Beach Resort for their continued support to our school. We love you Oualie.
