Friday Night Party

Attending the Friday Night Party, an unbeatable occasion to experience the Caribbean party, connect with locals, and dance till the early hours of the morning, is one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island of Saint Lucia. The Friday Night Party is a night street party held on Friday nights throughout the island. The most well-known is that of Gros Islet (near Rodney Bay), with Dauphine Street being the busiest.

Dauphin Street is lined with dozens of street booths selling a variety of foods. There were dumplings, grilled lobsters, various skewers, battered veggies, and servings of gratin pasta. Similarly, you can find a variety of drinks, ranging from soda or homemade juice to any form of alcoholic beverage. Following supper, you can continue to enjoy the night at any of the street music venues. People come to dance to the rhythm of Zouk, reggae, or commercial pop at the end of Dauphine Street, near the sea. You can stay out till daylight, although it is best to leave around two o'clock because robberies on tourists tend to spike around that hour.
