On Thursday, August 15, 2024, the historic city of Cap-Haïtien proudly celebrated its 354th anniversary. This special day was marked by a series of events, including a major religious ceremony in the presence of three ministers.
The celebration began in the morning with a solemn mass at Cape Town Cathedral, where local authorities, government representatives and citizens gathered to pay tribute to this historic, tourist and national heritage city.
Throughout the day, the city vibrated to the rhythm of cultural and festive activities shared by a large number of residents and visitors from everywhere. A day that ended with the Tropicana Anniversary Gala.
This August 15 celebration was not only a look back, but also an opportunity to look forward with hope and determination. Cap-Haïtien, “La Cité Christophienne,” will continue to stand out as a pillar of Haitian history and culture.
Note that a delegation from the city of Allada in Benin, arrived on August 13 in Cap, joined the cultural events. A twinning between Cap Haitien and Allada which symbolizes a step towards strengthening historical ties and local development, offering great opportunities for both cities and their inhabitants.
