CAP-HAITIEN — Fèt Okap, Creole for Cap-Haïtien’s anniversary, means celebration for many. But for some, it signifies business opportunities. Indeed, it was easy to see that the city was in both party and business mode with a quick stroll down The Boulevard, the main road leading to the city, on Aug. 15.
“Fèm vann non, menm si son ti braslè 30 dola (Help me sell something, even if it’s just a bracelet for 30 dollars [150 gourdes] [ or USD 1]),” one vendor of clothing accessories implored a passerby.
“Se pa w pa achte frèsko a (You didn’t buy the fresco—snow cone),” a fresco vendor—standing behind her table— remarked to another pedestrian.
During the three-day annual Notre-Dame Grand Fair, young entrepreneurs lined the streets with tables filled with clothing accessories and more on either side of the road. The fair started on Aug. 13 and concluded on Aug. 15, coinciding with the city’s anniversary. According to the town officials, one of the fair’s objectives is to boost local entrepreneurs’ revenue during the festive season, when more residents are out and diaspora members visit the city.
Beaded bracelets, leather sandals, and snow cones were among the most commonly available items.
Below are some images from the last day of the fair on August 15.
