The official logo, inspired by the historic Berkeley Memorial in Basseterre, was also unveiled as a symbol of the Federation's heritage and progress.
The calendar includes National Colours Days, youth and cultural activities, school and community programmes, patriotic ceremonies, concerts, exhibitions, and the traditional Independence Parade.
