Carnival
Running from mid-December until New
Year’s Day, this festival is the climax of the
year. 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.
