Welcome Visitors - and Season's Greetings!<br />

Christmas & New Year are approaching once again and<br />

<strong>Bequia</strong> is getting ready to give you the best holiday you ever<br />

had! Delicious special menus, lots of day and night-time<br />

activities plus a wide choice of musical entertainment are all<br />

on offer to make your celebrations truly memorable. Many<br />

of our advertisers have wisely chosen to give details of their<br />

Holiday events in <strong>this</strong> issue, so you can plan ahead.<br />

For your Christmas shopping, <strong>Bequia</strong> has much to offer.<br />

Most stores will be open till the end of the day on Christmas<br />

Eve - see facing page for more details. However, <strong>Bequia</strong>'s only<br />

bank, the Bank of SVG, will close at 4pm Friday 23rd and not<br />

re-open until Wed 28th. It will be extremely crowded in the<br />

run-up to Christmas week, so be sensible and don't leave it to<br />

the last minute to change money or to make withdrawals!<br />

Christmas Day (Sunday 25th), Boxing Day (Monday 26th)<br />

and Tuesday 27th are all are Public Holidays <strong>this</strong> year, but<br />

most grocery stores and boutiques will be open for at least<br />

part of the day on the 26th and 27th. Check out the list<br />

opposite for store opening times.<br />

Looking ahead to the 31st, New Year’s Eve (known in<br />

<strong>Bequia</strong> as “Old Year’s Night”) and the arrival of the New<br />

Year is celebrated as enthusiastically here as anywhere in<br />

<strong>Bequia</strong>’s spectacular New Year's Eve Fireworks display<br />

- made possible only through the generosity of <strong>Bequia</strong> businesses<br />

and private individuals - will burst over the harbour<br />

on the stroke of midnight and will be visible from most<br />

waterfront locations.<br />

If you too would like to make a contribution towards the<br />

annual cost of <strong>Bequia</strong>'s fireworks, donations can be left at the<br />

<strong>Bequia</strong> Tourism Office. Even the smallest contribution will<br />

go a long way and be very much appreciated!<br />

Advance details of most New Year’s Eve events will be<br />

in the Special Christmas Issue of <strong>Bequia</strong> This <strong>Week</strong>, available<br />

from the <strong>Bequia</strong> Tourism Office and other outlets from<br />
