The King of Soca, Machel Montano is set to receive the keys to the City of San Fernando on Sunday, December 10th.
The presentation will be made by San Fernando Mayor Robert Parris at an all-inclusive Skinner Park event, Parang in D Park, starting at 4 pm and ending at midnight.
Montano, in a social media post, said he was extremely grateful for the honour.
“Your mayor has graciously offered me the keys to your amazing city and I am extremely grateful. Big shout-out to the city, for your warmth and this generosity and blessing. It means the world to me. See you there as we celebrate the spirit of the season.”
Mayor Parris, in a Newsday interview, said this is not the only venture in which he wants to engage Montano. Parris spoke of Montano’s vision of building a school for culture in Trinidad and Tobago and said, “I will be looking to pull out all stops to get that built in the city of San Fernando.
“There are endless possibilities for San Fernando. So get ready for what San Fernando is to become.”
