The streets of Marigot vibrated last Sunday to the rhythm of the Carnival with the big children's parade, colorful event which enchanted the spectators. This first highlight of the 2025 edition brought together schools and associations, offering a dazzling and festive parade.
Hundreds of children, dressed in flamboyant costumes, paraded enthusiastically to the applause of a captivated audience. The creativity of teachers, parents and associations was fully expressed through meticulously crafted disguises and cheerful choreographies. Nine troops competed in dynamism and originality, embodying the spirit of the carnival.
The SXM Majorettes association kicked off the event with a magical production inspired by “ The Little Mermaid " In a completely different register, the association Rhythm & Groove electrified the crowd with his theme “Show Time”, immersing the audience in an atmosphere worthy of the greatest shows.
Elementary schools also shone with their imagination. The Clair St Maximin school shone the Rainbow with its troupe "Rainbow", while the Émile Choisy school took the spectators on a journey through the elements. At the Élie Gibbs school, the "Gardiens du Carnaval" caused a sensation, while the students of the Hervé Williams school took young and old into the futuristic world of "Interstellar, Children of the Stars".
