Attended this year after a two year hiatus. And what a disappointment! Far, far too loud - amplified jazz, country, and steel drum bands competing with each other, so loud that it was nearly impossible to hear the carolers. At no time was there ever fewer than two bands that you could hear in any corner of the Gardens.
Far from the fun and tranquil events of the past. Until they figure out that loudly amplified music is out of place at this event we will not return.
Loved the event in the past... strolling peacefully, listening to the various artists in intimate settings along the paths, hot chocolate by the fire listening to the carolers or the barbershop quartet... Where did all of that go?
