Building on the celebration of Creole Day, which began in Saint Lucia in 1981, this month-long Festival is a celebration of the richness and diversity of Saint Lucia’s cultural, ethnic and artistic heritage. With musical, theatrical and other performances, with seminars and lectures, with varied culinary experiences, with street parties and with art exhibitions, this Festival will culminate on the week-end of 28 – 29 October with a celebration of International Creole Day in designated communities, marking the end of Saint Lucia’s first Summer of Festivals.
