Chairperson of the Carnival Planning and Management Committee (CPMC), Tamara Gibson said \u201cWe were expecting a very tight competition this year and our artistes certainly delivered. We saw some very high quality performances, making it very difficult for our judges to select a winner. We were also very pleased with the turnout this past weekend and happy to see patrons getting back into the groove of Saint Lucia Carnival. We can\u2019t wait to see what the rest of the season has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saint Lucia Carnival 2022 runs from July 7 \u2013 19, with the Parade of the bands scheduled for July 18 and 19.<\/p>\n
