Carolling returns at Nine Nights of Lights event
After a considerable absence, Carolling, the much-anticipated event on the Christmas Season Calendar of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is making its reappearance during the Nine Nights of Lights event.
The event, which is hosted by the National Parks,Rivers and Beaches Authority in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture is being celebrated under the theme “Spirits Lifted”.
At a press briefing held on Thursday December 8 at the Carnival Development Corporation’s ConferenceRoom, Culture Minister Carlos James said that even though this event is not taking its usual competitive format, Vincentians have traditionally enjoyed this aspect of Nine Mornings festivities. Minister James went on to add that he is “hoping that based on the turnout at this year’s event, perhaps next year, we can move to a larger venue where we can draw swords and have the rivalry of
the caroling competition back in St. Vincent and the Grenadines”.
The “Spirits Lifted” Carolling event is slated to take place on Saturday December 17 at the Botanical Gardens and will commence at 6pm. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children.
