The Carefree Traveller
The celebration of Carnival in St. Kitts is unique in many ways. It's the only one in the Caribbean that
blends the spirit of Christmas with the colorful display of the nation's culture and African heritage.Each
year thousands of nationals and visitors alike flock to the 68 square mile paradise, to party and soak
up all the fun and engage in the frolic associated with carnival.
Carnival in St. Kitts and its sister island Nevis, begins officially on Christmas Eve in December and ends
on January in the New Year. The unofficial start occurs long before the official time. The carnival season
consists of many different activities such as beauty pageants, street jamming, calypso shows,
masquerades, mocko jumbies and other traditional folklore.
Deriving from a combination of the European tradition of pre-Lent carnival and the Kittsians'
predilection for 'Christmas sports', carnival in St Kitts becomes one great big excuse to party.
The New Year's Day Parade and the "Las' Lap" are unmissable carnival events.
