Many people who left the island after the Soufrière Hills Volcano erupted, usually return home to celebrate Christmas with their family and friends and also to play carnival. This is a highly anticipated event with pageants, calypso competitions, talent shows and the parade of masqueraders through the streets accompanied by exhuberatnt crowds dancing to the music on the trucks. What a fantastic way to end the year and to welcome in the New Year. YEAR-ROUND Take a tour around the island Photo Credit: Melone
