Holidays & Observances in St. Kitts and Nevis

St. Kitts and Nevis is a country made up of two islands in the Caribbean. It is the smallest country in the Americas. The culture of St. Kitts and Nevis is a mixture of European, African, and West Indian. The Europeans brought their language (English), their religion (Christianity), and their architectural style, but the true flavor of the country is much more colorful, influenced by the African and West Indian influences. Holidays are celebrated in true West Indian fashion, with colorful parades and parties for every occasion.
