Welcome Visitors – and Season’s Greetings!Christmas and New Year are here once again and Bequia is
ready to give you the best holiday you ever had! Delicious special menus, lots of day and night-time activities plus a wide choice of musical entertainment are all on offer to make your celebrations truly memorable.
For your last-minute Christmas shopping, most stores will be open till the end of the day on Christmas Eve - see over-leaf for more details. Remember though, the banks will close at lunchtime on the 24th and will be extremely crowded on that day, so be sensible and don't leave it to the last minute!
Saturday 25th, Sunday 26th and Monday 27th December are all Public Holidays, but some grocery stores and boutiques will be open on the 26th and 27th if you’ve forgotten that one vital ingredient for your kitchen or just want to look around. Check out the list on page 6 for grocery store opening times.
Looking ahead to the 31st, New Year’s Eve is known in Bequia as “Old Year’s Night” and the arrival of the New
Year is celebrated as enthusiastically here as anywhere else in the world. Many restaurants offer special festive dinners, sometimes with two sittings so you can choose where you want to be when midnight strikes. Just remember to reserve early though as places fill up very fast!
Bequia’s spectacular New Year's Eve firework display - made possible through the generosity of Bequia businesses and private individuals - will burst over the harbour on the stroke of midnight. The show should be visible from all waterfront locations and surrounding areas. Don't miss it!
Listings of New Year’s Eve events will be repeated in next week’s Bequia This Week, available from the Tourism Office and other outlets from Thursday 30th December.
So we hope you have a wonderful visit to Bequia. You are, quite simply, on the best little island in the world.
Merry Christmas everyone!
