The island has become a popular
venue for different festivals.
Introduced in 1996, the St. Barts'
Film Festival, held in April every
year, has put the island on the map
for film makers while in January
top musicians meet at the St. Barts'
Music Festival. Ballet and Jazz were
introduced to the island in 1988 and
1989 respectively and of course the
annual Carnival takes place through
the streets of Gustav every February.
