TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin ate there any street parties or Jump ups on SXM?

We love these i.e. mingling w locals and listening to music and dancing. Experienced it on Antigua, and St. Lucia. Does this exist on SXM? Thanks, all!

you just missed carnival..there were plenty of street parties and jump ups

Missed. Darn. But, do they happen at other times bests Carnival? Thx!

during the season in Grand Case every Tuesday night but that is over.
maybe on July 14th on Bastille day on the french side. french side carnival at mardi gras time.
but on a regular basis , no.

while not technically a "street party", Kali's Full Moon parties on Friar's Bay beach used to be like that...they used to occur on the night of the actual full moon, but now they supposedly occur on the saturday night closest to the full moon...you may want to look into the particulars of that

and if you happen to be in the area, Nassau Bahamas, Barbados, Tobago have pretty cool weekly street parties/jump ups <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />
