Then for those able to stay on for longer, the second segment of the experience takes you on breathtaking adventures to explore the natural beauty of the island of St. Lucia. The island is lush and boasts some of the most scenic vistas and iconic landmarks of any of the islands of the Caribbean – having earned the island many prestigious tourism and hospitality awards, as well as world heritage site status for some of those landmarks.

Calcie Cooper & Dona Lambert
Founders & Hosts
Meet the dynamic duo behind Carnival Summer Escape to St Lucia Carnival!
Calcie Cooper is a native Jamaican who is a Howard University graduate with a degree in International Business. He has been curating and hosting experiences for young black professionals since 2003, with his main goal to celebrate life and professional accomplishments. Calcie hosts events that organically connect attendees and foster personal and professional relationships in a fun environment.
It is through following his passion for connecting quality people together that he met and married his now wife Dona who is a graduate of Brown University.
Together the two attended St. Lucia Carnival in the summer of 2023, for what would be Calcie’s first time to the festival. He was so impressed with how well his experience was, he decided that he would return the following year to celebrate his 50th birthday. This plan morphed into the idea to invite his community to come and enjoy not only carnival but the island of St. Lucia in general! Thus birthed The Carnival Summer Escape, with the goal for all who attend to “come for the carnival and experience St. Lucia”.
