Declaration of August 3rd and 4th as Public Holidays

The general public is asked to take note, that the public holidays of  Monday July 6th and Tuesday July 7th, 2020 have been rescheduled. The days that were expected to host the Carnival Monday and Tuesday activities have been shifted as a result of the cancellation of this years Carnival festival due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The change stemming from this declaration is expected be valid for this year 2020 only, and should revert to the normal July Carnival Monday and Tuesday in 2021. Vincentians at home and in the Diaspora are asked to take note of these changes.

Please note that the public holidays on Monday August 3rd and Tuesday August 4th are not Carnival holidays.
