Cherie's Saint Lucia Vacation

Saint Lucia's Flag

 

Saint Lucia Jazz has become one of the major events on St. Lucia's calendar of events. During the month of May, the island moves to the beat of jazz when music fills the air and tourism takes on a whole new meaning to all. What started as simply a marketing event to boost tourism industry arrivals during a low peak period, has now developed into a truly St. Lucian Festival.
