SALEM – #GreenWeek is here and we are happy. Also known as St. Patrick’s Festival, the next eight days will be about celebrating Montserrat’s mix of Irish, Caribbean and African heritage.

The event is becoming a preferred festival for nationals abroad who enjoy the lower airfares and better weather.

If you are on island and planning to attend any of the events, then bookmark our events calendar to keep track of the official activities and a few extras. You can find it here. Go to Calendar
