The countdown has begun towards Nine Nights of Lights at the Botanical Gardens, a series of events described by many as the largest Christmas celebrations in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG).

The National Parks, Rivers, and Beaches Authority (NPBA), the host of the events announced that Nine Nights of Lights at the Botanical Gardens 2024 will take place from December 15th to 23rd.

The nights which attract thousands of locals and tourists feature live entertainment, mesmerizing light displays, delicious treats, craft vendors, and special performances, the organisers said.

Nightly, the gates at the Botanical Gardens will open from 6:00 p.m., and activities will start at 7:00 p.m.

As of today, there are 24 days left until the start of the festival.

Nine Nights of Lights at the Botanical Gardens is the nightly version of Nine Mornings, a Christmas festival unique to St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) where people gather in the early hours of the nine mornings before Christmas Day to celebrate.
