IT'S PARTY TIME
Every Tuesday night from January through April, Grand Case Village comes alive with Harmony Nights—packed full of street entertainment, music and primo people watching.
For two weeks in February on the French side, and for 17 days in April on the Dutch side, it's all about the Carnival and partying till the sun comes up. Bands keep the crowd groovin' during the early morning street parade called J'ouvert. The grand parade is full of flamboyantly costumed dancers, musicians and magicians jamming and jumping to the sizzling rhythms of soca and calypso. The Carnival Village dishes up spicy island food, more music and partying until the last person leaves.
