Today, Wednesday 27 October marks 42 years of independence for the nation of St Vincent and the Grenadines, a former British colony, which became the last of the Caribbean’s Windward Islands to gain independence.
Comprising 32 islands found between Grenada and St. Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines is home to lush, mountainous rainforests and the famous La Soufriere, its 4,000ft tall active volcano which erupted on Friday 9 April 2021.
If you would like to support Saint Vincent, please find more information on Youroumei Cultural Artistic Showcase, a virtual event being held on Sunday 7 November 2021.
Soca News wishes all Vincentians a Happy Independence.
