The newly elected SLCBA executive wishes to remind the general public and carnival community of these outlined deadlines and procedures for application.

Registration Deadlines and Rollover Applications

With respects to the time and efforts that go into maintaining and improving the quality standards for St. Lucia Carnival, the SLCBA is adamant about early registration and organizations of the national bands.
