It was exactly as described, which was street fair for tourists and locals to mingle. After the second rum punch we all got into the spirit of things, but paid the price the next day. Worth checking out if you are near Rodney Bay. Too far a taxi ride from Castries or elsewhere.

We went several times to the Gros Islet Friday night street party and enjoyed loads of good street food and local drinks. It has a great party atmosphere with lots of types of music being played at a thumping volume throughout the night. The locals are friendly and found it to be a safe environment for a good night out... More

I have been to this dozens and dozens of times, since pretty well the first one that was held there in 1982. No visit to St Lucia is complete without a visit to this weekly "jump-up". Very friendly people, street stalls with delicious local eats, live music, throbbing with atmosphere, smells, sounds and sights. Things don't start to slow down... More

I had a good experience at the street party but it's not something I would rush back to again. There's a lot of locals selling alcohol & little touristy things like bracelets & shot glasses.

Great music, food, Piton beer and atmosphere, what a great way to get a feel for a local town. The street party goes from 6:30pm to 2:00am every Friday night exept for Good Friday.

Amazing time, very cool atmosphere and people. Lots of locals and tourists made it a very neat experience. Drink lots of the locals rum shine. But be careful not to drink too much!

Please do not miss this, we had such a good night. We got a taxi from our hotel and got him to meet us later, round trip $28. Use common sense stay in the main areas, it is safe but tourists do stand out. The music is loud, there is drink flowing and food stands are aplenty.we met a staff... More
