St. Patrick’s Festival in Montserrat was an unforgettable experience. The energy, the music, and the people made it something truly special. At one point, a heavy downpour rolled in and everyone ran for cover, packing into the grandstand together. It didn’t take away from the moment at all it added to it.

We had a mix of strong winds and rough seas throughout the week, but the sun dominated most days. Even the rain felt warm, more like a passing “liquid sunshine” than anything disruptive. One of the best surprises was seeing no sargassum all week, which made the coastline even more beautiful. Evenings were comfortable for sleep!

Montserrat has a way of blending celebration with nature in a way that feels effortless. This trip was a perfect reminder of why I love this island so much.
