This July, Saint Lucia hotels offer travelers a variety of ways to celebrate Lucian Carnival, the premier cultural event of the year celebrating the island’s African and Catholic heritage, with promotional deals up to 50 percent off standard rates.

One of the Caribbean’s most exciting festivals, Saint Lucian Carnival is a rich display of sights, sounds, and a spectacle that takes place July 13- 19, 2016. As Carnival celebrations begin visitors can learn to lime like a local during a week filled with parties, competitions and exhibitions.  From the King & Queen of the Band competition to Junior Carnival, J’ouvert and the Parade of the Bands, Lucian Carnival gives locals, annual revelers and visitors the opportunity to fête through the streets of Castries in true Caribbean fashion.
“A visit during Carnival season is an experience unlike any other, where travelers have the opportunity to become immersed in the Saint Lucian culture one song at a time,” says Tracey Warner-Arnold, deputy director of tourism. “As Carnival continues to grow in tourist popularity, the Saint Lucia Tourist Board in conjunction with our hotel partners are primed to welcome visitors from across the globe.”
