These plus a full slate of more than 20 fetes and boat rides make Saint Lucia’s carnival the one not to miss. It is a very special celebration of Caribbean culture and creativity. St Lucia Carnival is recognized as one of the top Carnivals in the Caribbean and becomes a more vibrant and creative event each year.
