Saint Martin Carnival 2024

Carnival is THE event not to be missed in February, highlighting all the richness and diversity of the island of Saint-Martin. It reflects the desire to see the people of Saint-Martin take over the streets and public places, to the sound of Caribbean rhythms, dressed in shimmering costumes, in a good mood and with respect for all. Feathers and sequins twirl and mingle with a deluge of confetti and streamers all over the territory.

Elections are held to distinguish the best costume, the most beautiful makeup and the most beautiful Miss of the carnival. A mini-miss contest is also held to include and reward children in this intergenerational celebration.
