Annual Events
Each year, the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Cultural Society of BC (SVGSBC) brings our community together through a series of vibrant annual events. From lively celebrations to heartfelt gatherings, every occasion reflects the warmth, unity, and rich traditions of Vincentian culture.
April – Spring Lime BBQ & Sports Day: Sun, Smoke & Smiles
When spring arrives, we fire up the grill and hit the field! The annual Spring Lime BBQ & Sports Day is all about food, fun, and fellowship. Families gather for friendly games, dominoes, and mouth-watering Caribbean barbecue — from jerk chicken to roasted corn. It’s a day that captures the heart of Vincentian culture: simple joys, laughter, and togetherness. Whether you’re competing, cheering, or just enjoying the music and sunshine, this event reminds us of the pure joy of community.
July – Carnival Dance: Feel the Rhythm of the Islands
The Carnival Dance is where the energy of the Caribbean truly comes alive! Featuring pulsating soca beats, colorful attire, and the spirit of Vincy Mas, this annual event celebrates freedom, creativity, and unity. It’s a night to dance, reconnect, and experience the magic of Carnival right here in BC. What makes it special? The authenticity — the real Vincy rhythms, the genuine warmth, and the unmistakable feeling of home, wherever you come from.
