Carnival in Saint Lucia celebrates the African heritage and Catholic traditions imbedded to the
sland and its rich people. Unlike its Caribbean companions, Saint Lucia’s carnival does not take place at the end of Lenten season. The decision to move to festival to the peak of summer in July was made so Saint Lucia’s carnival can reach a broader audience. Because of this Lucian Carnival is a widely popular carnival experience. You can expect to experience, musical competitions featuring well-known Soca artists, Carnival King and Queen contests, and of course non-stop partying. If that doesn’t draw you in then the beautiful costumes and the equally beautiful spirit of Saint Lucians should.
