the Achievements of our Nation”. The Official Ceremony for the
National Festival of Light Celebrations this year takes place in the eastern

Ceremony will be held at the Micoud Church Yard from 6:00 pm on Sunday, December
I2 and will feature cultural performances from Walleigh, the Mon Repos Choral
Group, Royal Saint Lucia Police Band, Cohn Ferdinand, Special Blend, Majorettes
and Jenusse Dancers. The highlight of the Celebrations is
the highly anticipated Lantern Parade, switching on of the lights and Fireworks
Display. Many communities, particularly Castries and Vieux Fort will host their
own National Festival of Light Celebrations on December 12. The National Festival of Light
Celebrations traditionally marks the beginning of the Christmas festivities in
Saint Lucia. |
