CAP-HAITIEN—As a child, Steevenson Loctama used to watch the national ceremony of Haitian Flag Day in Arcahaie on television and dreamt that one day it would take place in his hometown. This year, Loctama is getting his wish after all as officials move the national ceremony of the 220th anniversary of the Haitian flag to Cap-Haitien instead of Arcahaie.
To make the move sweeter, Loctama will get to participate as a sousaphone player with his fanfare band, CEMUCHCA.
