Premier Easton Taylor-Farrell opens the 2020 MONTSERRAT HERITAGE FESTIVAL (St Patrick's Festival).
The two-week event is built around the anniversary of a planned rebellion by enslaved Africans in Montserrat on March 17th 1768 (St Patrick's Day).
March 17th, HEROES DAY, is a public holiday in Montserrat.
The festival draws huge numbers of Montserratians living in the diaspora and has become a major fixture on the island's annual calendar of events.
It's an important cultural and historical marker for Montserrat as well as a key economic driver.
