VINCY FESTIVALS AND EVENTS

Annual Events

In January, we get the year off to a great start with music at Bequia's Music Festival and Mustique's Blues Festival.

When Spring arrives, head to Bequia for the world famous Easter Regatta or take a trip south to Union for the wild and wonderful Easterval celebrations. Both held annually at Easter in March/April.

The Blues & Rhythm Festival will be held in 2010.

In May it's time for Canouan's Regatta, another very popular sailing race.

Join us in June/July for Vincy Mas, the Hottest Carnival in the Caribbean! This lively and colourful fete is held annually and includes the Miss SVG Competition, Mardi Gras Parade of Bands, Calypso Monarch, King & Queen of Carnival and much, much more!

In the month of August, it's our Breadfruit Festival - a tasty celebration of St Vincent & The Grenadines' 25 species of breadfruit and their historical importance.
