Rum Season

The rum is the national drink of Saint Lucia, and the island has been producing rum for over 300 years. The tradition is to drink the local rum (the Chairman's Reserve, which is distilled from sugar cane), and to mix it with coconut water, lime juice, or sorrel. The rum is not just a drink. It is a cultural institution, and the tradition is to drink it at every occasion: parties, funerals, baptisms, and the Carnival. . 2026: Feb 17. 2027: Feb 9.

Soca Season

The soca is the national music of Saint Lucia, and it is a blend of calypso and soul (the word "soca" comes from "soul calypso"). The soca is not just music. It is a cultural institution, and the tradition is to dance it at the Carnival, at the beach, and at every party. The soca is the sound of Saint Lucia, and the tradition is to wine (move your hips to the beat), jump up (jump in the air), and wave your flag. . 2026: Feb 17. 2027: Feb 9.

Animals of Tuvalu Day

You observe vast colonies of sooty terns, frigatebirds, and sea turtles nesting on these remote Pacific atolls. You notice that pet ownership is minimal due to isolation, though some residents keep chickens and occasional cats. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
