St. Vincent and the Grenadines Easter holidays
April is one of the best months to visit St. Vincent and the Grenadines due to it being the driest month, with the least amount of rainfall. The Yellow Pui Tree are in bloom around this time of year, creating a yellow haze – not dissimilar to the radiant yellow of our springtime daffodils.
As Christianity is the dominant religion in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Easter is celebrated as a public holiday, where most of the locals attend church for Easter service. There are some beautiful churches on the islands, the dark, gothic architecture of St. Mary’s church in Kingstown contrasts beautifully against the island’s lush greenery.

Easter traditions in St. Vincent and the Grenadines
For the Vincentian’s, Easter time is for Regattas. The Bequia Easter Regatta and Union Islands Eastervelle Regatta are huge sailing events, in which island’s come together and celebrate their biggest passion. The competitive spirit is at an all-time high at Bequia’s four-day regatta, where barbeques are lit, and competitions are a go! For the children, there is a competition to create and sail your own model coconut boat. Bequia is an island known for building model boats, so make sure you check out Seargent Brothers Model Boat Shop in Port Elizabeth, for some beautifully crafted models.
