Caribbean Saint Lucia Saint Lucia Bars & Nightlife 'Jump Up' Street Parties (Gros Islet)

'Jump Up' Street Parties (Gros Islet)

The guide was updated:
Every Friday night at Gros Islet, locals and tourists get together to dance and chill until the wee hours of the morning. Enjoy the Caribbean night to the rhythm of calypso, zouk, and reggae blasting out from various loudspeakers in the area. Soak up the summery vibes amongst the stands of street vendors selling ribs, fish, and jerk chicken, while you sip at a very Saint Lucian rum punch or a typically local Piton beer. If you want to get a real taste of the local nightlife, head down to 'Jump Up' past 11pm, when the families of tourists have finally called it a day. At this time, a lot of the locals will have ended their shifts and will be heading out to party.

Rodney Bay Village

Rodney Bay Village

The mellow and easy-going atmosphere on the island probably accounts for the fact that down in Rodney Bay most nights of the week are the perfect excuse to stay out late dancing, singing, partying and, of course, enjoying some delicious food. Taking a walk around the centre of this vibrant village, you will notice that there is a varied array of dining options on offer. Catering to all tastes and budgets, Rodney Bay's eateries range from Indian cuisine to traditional steakhouses. After dinner, why not take another walk and stop by at one of the live music events or show off your skills at karaoke? Between the pumping soca music and the mellow sounds of reggae, you will soon realise that here, the good times never end.
