Under the leadership of the Cultural Development Foundation, St Lucia Carnival has been recognised as one of the top carnivals in the Caribbean and continues to grow more vibrant and creative each year.
“The Season culminates in an exciting, fun-filled two-day street parade of live bands and DJ music, stunning Carnival costumes and the joyous and energetic revelry typical of Caribbean carnivals”
The festivities begin in the days leading up to the event, with a range of parties and celebrations taking place throughout the entire island. One of the most anticipated pre-carnival events is the ‘Color Me Red’ party; a large street party where people dress in Red.
