St. Kitts Music Festival

The St. Kitts Music Festival takes place every year on the island of St. Kitts. The 2008 St. Kitts Music Festival Lineup includes several Grammy award winning performers.

As with every music festival in the Caribbean, the music festival was created to attract tourist dollars to the island during the low season. The tourist board set out to “establish a world renowned (annual) festival of different genres of music, that would attract broad based international participation, expose artistic excellence and promote St Kitts and Nevis as a major tourist destination.” I can’t think of any better reason for a festival.

Fringe Activities

Fringe activities take place at the festival away from the main stage, and are an important ingredient in the festival mix. These activities include lunchtime concerts by local musicians and other cultural performers, Caribbean Beach Parties, Scenic Railway Tours, Boat Rides, Slam Dunk Contests and Official After Parties.
