13th Annual St. Kitt's Music Festival Set To Hit a High Note


If you are looking for a uniquely Caribbean experience, the annual St. Kitts Music Festival, taking place June 25-27, is a one of a kind event that has grown out of the island's deep-rooted musical heritage and genuine hospitality traditions. In its 13th year, this fabulous festival combines music, island culture and elements of carnival type street parties with performances from a wide variety of internationally popular music genres, including R&B, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Soca, Calypso, Gospel and Contemporary music - all with a uniquely Caribbean flavor. The result is a "must-do" experience for those on a summer sailing charter! The Warner Park Stadium venue becomes a friendly block party atmosphere. Vendor booths ring the grounds with authentic West Indian dishes for sale, while both inside and outside the park, people dance and sway to the music as songs fill the night air. This year's festival will feature a unique line-up of artists that will please the entire family. Younger children can sing along with Regina Belle's song from the Disney movie, Aladdin, "A Whole New World", young adults are sure to be familiar with the hit songs of T-Pain, while the entire family can bop to the laid-back reggae rhythms of Stephen Marley, soca sounds of Nu Vybes Band International or one of the many other talented lcoal and Caribbean artists. After enjoying Music Festival at night, St. Kitts offers a wealth of attractions during the day for those interested in exploring the island's heritage and enjoying the wide range of activities that it offers. Music lovers from the US and Canada can get to St. Kitts via non-stop service on American Airlines from New York (JFK) or Miami, on Delta from Atlanta, and on US Airways from Charlotte, as well as via connecting service through San Juan on American Eagle or via flights on regional carrier LIAT from Antigua. Of course, an even better way to get there is on a sailing charter! - Donna
