The two main places that Vincentians go to enjoy their Easter vacation is the island of Bequia or Union Island. There is usually a debate every year as to which island has the better activities and is more fun. I personally have experienced both islands during the Easter season. Through what I have experienced, Union Island comes closer to the carnival with parties and shows such as Miss Easterval, Soca Monoarh, where regional soca stars make appearances and add to the fun. J’ouvert is also mimicked, with paint and street parties on Easter Monday. Mostly the type of music that is played in Union Island is soca. I would suggest if you’re not a big fan of soca music and won’t be able to make the journey of three to four hours by ferry then the one hour ferry ride to Bequia would be a better option.
