Saint Lucia National Day — festival of Lights and Renewal
2025-12-13 00:00 - 23:59 (America/Guadeloupe) | Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia
The Festival of Light in Saint Lucia is an event that traditionally marks the beginning of the Christmas season on December 13th, honouring Saint Lucy, the patron saint of light. This festival symbolises the victory of light over darkness and the renewal of life.

A key tradition of the festival is the creation of lanterns, originally hung in doorways to “light the way,” which has evolved into a creative competition held in the first week of December. Participants, both youth and adults, craft lanterns from natural and recycled materials, as well as colorful papers, depicting various themes such as local culture, historical buildings, and imaginative designs.

The celebration culminates on the eve of Saint Lucia Day with the Festival of Light. The festivities include a Parade of Lanterns through Castries, accompanied by Christmas songs and dances, followed by the illumination of Derek Walcott Square and a fireworks display. Many businesses also continue the tradition of lighting up on December 13th.

In 2013, the festival introduced the Lantern Ritual, where a musical procession to the harbour, led by traditional masqueraders, sets paper lanterns afloat on the water, carrying the wishes and prayers of the patrons for the season and beyond.

St Croix International Regatta
2025-04-10 00:00 - 2025-04-13 23:59 (America/Guadeloupe)
St Croix International Regatta

There’s nothing quite like the St. Croix International Regatta at the St. Croix Yacht Club. For three days, the turquoise waters of Teague Bay come alive with sharp manoeuvres, tight competition, and crews pushing their boats through the chop with real skill. It’s the kind of racing that keeps you on edge, watching every tack and every gain as teams fight for top honours. And yes, even prizes like their skipper’s weight in rum.

But out here, it’s never just about the racing. Once the sails are down, the island spirit takes over. Evenings roll straight into celebration with live Cruzan music, fire dancers lighting up the night, and a proper Caribbean pig roast to bring everyone together. It’s that perfect blend of serious sailing and laid-back island energy that makes this regatta something special.
