Castries, Saint Lucia — July 18, 2025 — The angels have arrived, and with them, a new era of Carnival energy. XUVO Carnival officially launched its 2025 season with a celestial spectacle on July 17 at the debut of Bliss — an all-white, all-inclusive event that left patrons glowing with the kind of stylish, spiritual energy only XUVO can deliver.
Hosted for the very first time, Bliss exceeded all expectations and was a major triumph, perfectly choreographed to set the tone for what is being hailed as the most transformative Carnival experience yet.
For Xuvo Carnival, this year’s overarching theme, “Isle of Angels,” elevates the Carnival journey into the realm of the divine.

From purity to playfulness, power to freedom, the 2025 season is a multi-dimensional journey into the light.
“Bliss was more than a party, it was a spiritual awakening in full glamour and grace. From the moment guests stepped into the space, dressed in radiant white, it was clear something extraordinary was unfolding. We wanted to create a space where beauty, elegance and divine energy met on the dance floor — and the angels showed up,” noted band director Maier Sifflet,
The Bliss event served as a symbolic arrival of the angels – encapsulating majestic, powerful, and poised. But it was just the beginning. “Each event moving forward will peel back another layer of the XUVO angelic story, revealing boldness, freedom, creativity, and the transformative force of Saint Lucian culture on full display, ” exclaimed Sifflet.
From the vibrant chaos of the high-energy jouvert event dubbed SOAK’T, on July 19, to the elegant glow of Ca Va at sunrise on July 20, and the idyllic coastal charm of SHORES on July 20(Evening), XUVO Carnival’s triple-threat lineup is a rite of passage for every true carnival enthusiast. These signature events are not just parties but are immersive experiences that blend energy, exclusivity, and unmatched vibes. Whether you’re getting drenched in paint and powder at dawn, sipping champagne in a sunrise cabana, or dancing barefoot on a beach as the sun sets, each moment unveils a different facet of Saint Lucian Carnival magic, making them unmissable highlights on any reveler’s calendar.
This celestial journey will culminate on July 21 & 22, 2025, when XUVO Carnival takes to the road for the national Lucia Carnival Parade. The two-day spectacle, from Massy Mega to Massy Mega, promises to be a visual feast of feathers, light, music and motion, where the “Isle of Angels” comes to full life.

This season, the angels don’t just fly, they jump, they vibe, they transform.
