St Vincent & The Grenadines: When to Go

January-May are the driest months but also the peak tourist season. The temperature is fairly consistent throughout the year with daily highs averaging 78-85F. The rainy season is from June-November, with July being the wettest month. The Grenadines are somewhat drier than St Vincent.

On St Vincent, the main cultural event of the year is the carnival known as Vincy Mas. Held in late June/early July, it's 10 days of colourful parades, calypso, steel band music and dancing. Kingstown on St Vincent hosts a series of street parades in the run up to Christmas. Bequia has a big regatta over the Easter weekend, and a music festival in January.
