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.

Tickets can be purchased from the following retailers:

Once Fidel goes, Cuba will turn in to Little Miami. I’ve said those words time and time again. Well, while the borders between Cuba and the United States are still closed, that seems to be exactly what’s happening on the island. Investors from Canada and Europe have their eye on Cuba for new developments, with gated communities with luxury hotels, villas and condos surrounding 18-and 36-hole golf courses near beach resorts across the Caribbean island. It sounds like my version of suburban hell.
Many of these aren’t new plans, they’ve …

The Hedonism II resort in Negril, Jamaica is hosting the annual Ultimate Men of Hedonism calendar contest next month, on June 4 to 9, 2008. In this sexy contest, a dozen men will duke out for the chance to appear on the cover of the 2009 Ultimate Men of Hedonism calendar. The men will compete on important categories, such as looks, physical appearance (aren’t those the same?), dancing skills, charisma and overall sex appeal. Because dancing is a really, really important skill for a calendar model.
Can you …

So, you’ve been to Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, you’ve got your braids, you’ve been snorkeling, and even climbed Dunns River Falls…so what’s left to do in Jamaica? Horseback riding on the beach, that’s what. My horseback riding experience was probably my favorite thing about the whole island of Jamaica, aside from the free drinks, even though my horse Nutmeg seemed a little hungry. Don’t worry, no matter what tour you take there will be helpful natives with local wares available for purchase at the end of the trip.
There …
