It's a very colorful children's parade in the heart of Marigot, bringing a warm and dynamic energy which excited the large audience present last Sunday on the occasion of the 1er highlight of the 2024 edition of the Saint-Martin Carnival.

The associations SXM Majorettes, The Light of Craft and Culture, Rhythm and Groove, L'Ecole Montessori des Iles du Nord, elementary schools, Marie-Amélie Leydet, Emile Choisy, Omer Arrondell, Hervé Williams, Aline Hanson, Mont des Accords and the Victor Hugo middle and high school took part in the children's parade this year, more than 500 students all delighted and impatient to stroll through the streets of Marigot. The opportunity also for the local population and tourists passing through the “Friendly Island” to admire the numerous disguises made with the greatest care by the schools, associations and parents who were fully invested in the success of this event.
