IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS AT THE CIRCUS

Monday December 6th 2010 marks the start of "In the Spirit of Christmas" presented by"St. Kitts Department of Culture", as a celebration of Culture, Talent and Community that runs from the 6th to the 10th of December at 'The Circus" in Basseterre St. Kitts.  And all are invited to attend and get into the Spirit!

Since 1995, "In the Spirit of Christmas" has become a National tradition in the Federation of St. Kitts-Nevis bringing together Nationals and Visitors of all ages, spreading love and good will to one another as the Christmas Season approaches.  Each year a committee of dedicated persons give their time and work tirelessly with the Department of Culture to coordinate individuals, community groups and businesses to bring an assortment of music, song, dance, poetry, gospel and performers together into a variety show designed to entertain the public and delight the masses.

The final night is crowned with a special visit from Santa Claus sharing out gifts to children..."In The Spirit of Christmas"!  Join the Department of Culture each night in The Circus, at 7:30pm to enjoy the festivities. (See Program Below)
