Events The St. Lucian year is marked by a multitude of festive events, from Carnival and Calypso celebrations to world-class tennis tournaments and weekly street parties. For music lovers, the best bet of the year is the annual St. Lucia Jazz Festival, a four-day extravaganza, May 8th-11th, attracting some of the world's very best performers to the island. St Lucia's Rose Festival honours the regal flower with colourful street parades and a royal kingdom complete with king, queen and dignitaries. St Lucia's Carnival is the most extravagant event on the island. Every year people throng and block the streets of Castries in colourful costumes to parade to the latest soca and calypso hits. All of the action explodes into a kaleidoscope of colour and sound on Carnival Tuesday when the costumed bands take to the streets for a day of complete and unadulterated fun. Come, relax and have fun!! |
