We are going to be in Grand Case on a Tuesday night later this month. What exactly do they have going on special this night? It sounds like a parade or something takes place? What time does this start and is there a restaurant that we could make a reservation that has a table street side that we would be able to watch? Thanks

For the best choice of restaurants, I would go for sure to Le Cottage and have a table on the terrasse! You will have a wonderful dinner with the best vue ! But be sure to make a reservation !

Parade & street fair is Tuesdays from 6-10. Entire street in grand case is closed to vehicles starts middle of January to mid April. Best to take taxi & setup pick up time at end of street in my opinion. Fun time!

In past years it has been on Tuesdays. It appears the website hasn't been updated for 2017.

It's always been on Tuesdays; if it's on Thursdays now, that's a change.

But upon using google I found an article that states it starts 1/10. Grand Case at Night If you scan down there will be mention of it

Anyone on island and wanting to go on the 10th should call a restaurant in Grand Case for the correct info, but I personally would probably go with the Daily Herald, if I were a betting person.

Years back they use to have a special night
at Marigot Marina on Thursday nights.
Maybe that is the confusion.
Miss that......

It will probably be close, as it is normally around the first to second week of April. The original DH story did not say when the last one was supposed to be.

I know a person from the Herald and a Vendor and they both said Jan 17. If it starts the 10th, then all the better!

According to the online version of today's Daily Herald, the festivities start tomorrow night, January 17. The event will run for 12 weeks with an ending date of April 18 according to the same article.
They anticipate 2000-3000 people each night and the time is from 5:00 to 10:00.

The Daily Herald story said April 18 was the last one, so not sure if they changed it, or the DH was wrong? Did you hear that date from a restaurant owner in Grand Case?

I have no idea what the end date is but an answer on a facebook page does not make it the gospel.

It may well end on the date you were told but the DH was implying information from and quoting organiser Chantal Vernusse in their article. Calypso Events was also mentioned as a source of information.
The DH has been wrong in the past and they may well be in this case but the same possibility exists for other sources also.

Since we are here we can confirm first one was Tuesday, 1/17/17. We had dinner reservations for that nite but changed them to last nite to avoid the crowd and chaos.
Bistrot Caraibes very impressive.
Trip report will detail at later date.

Enjoy. Let us know if you find out anything definite. Perhaps it is a case of "island math" or their calendar is messed up, like for Christmas 2016 on the SXM calendar. Thanks.

We have not been there (st. Martin) since Bruno left.
Planning for a visit during our April stay.
Thanks

The Cottage is just great !!! The chef David does amazing things with his team and Stéphane , who bought back the resto from Bruno , makes sure that you enjoy your evening ! And by the way, they still offer their legendary soufflé au caramel!!
Le Cottage is one of our favorite restaurant on the island !
