If you are looking for something different other than the usual bar experience then this is the party for you! Lots of music, street food and street fare to buy this is a nice experience to mix with the locals. Definitely go down, grab a drink and people watch, have a dance and enjoy Caribbean lifestyle. Would recommend! - Have... More

If the jazz festival is on, you really don't need this for your entertainment, but if not its certainly a way to experience some street dancing and music. Food was good, but hard to work out what you are going to pay as no prices are displayed. Arranging pick up taxi is important though. Decide how long you want to... More

Beware of the drink vendor at the very beginning of the festival! Chris, this fat booze vendor with a rinky cart in the middle of the street will rip you off if you don't know math. He tried to tell me $9 us equaled $30 EC (Eastern Caribbean dollars). In reality it's $23.50 and when I told him he said... More

I will admit.. I was very hesitant about going and wasn't sure this was going to be safe.. Well, we had the best time, probably the best "night" of our vacation. I would HIGHLY suggest taking a taxi and arranging for a pick up. It cost us $24 round trip from Sandals Grande. We went with another couple we met... More

We went to the Friday evening fish fry by taxi. I would definitely recommend going by taxi and arranging a pick up time, as the streets leading up to it were very dark, as the main streets were closed off for the evening. The atmosphere was great, even the downpour didn't stop it for too long. There was a lot... More

I really enjoyed the street party but it is crowded, loud and late. It starts at 7 but doesn't pick up until about 10 then goes until 2am. We had the best food of our whole trip there for cheap too! There are food vendors, shopping stands and at the end of the street loud music and dancing! I would... More

Was great until about 11.30 when the atmosphere changed. Leave at 11 with your hotel and you'll have a great night
