On this Caribbean isle, St. Patrick’s Day is a unique blend of heritages Rebecca Toy © Photograph by Valbaun Galloway, Montserrat Tourism Division Montserrat Traditional Dancers, The Emerald Orioles, dance to the sounds of African and Irish drums and fife during a St. Patricks Day Parade in 2018. Masqueraders are popular performers during all Montserrat cultural events. There is green everywhere. But the steel drums and masked dancers, the goat water stew, and the active volcano all serve as a reminder that this is not the typical St. Patrick’s Day.  Just south of Antigua, Montserrat is that increasingly rare Caribbean realm without resorts and massive cruise ships. Ask any of its nearly 5,000 residents about the character of their island, and they’ll likely point out that, here, lost phones are taken to the radio station to be reunited with owners. People leave keys in cars, and doors unlocked. And they host a 10-day St. Patrick’s festival. Montserr
