Biggest evening parade in the history of St. Maarten
The 5th Annual Light Parade that will take place this Saturday, April 9, will be one for the ages. International Carnival bands Fantastic 4 and Small Axe will be the main bands on the road, and Soggy Dollar Bar will be teaming up with them for the first time.
The Light Parade is a Carnival event that truly brings joy to the people. Revellers can enjoy great Carnival music as they parade in lighted T-shirts and costumes through the streets of the Philipsburg.
