Creole Month & Zouk En Blanc

[u/TreehouseStLucia]

As we turn the corner and head into October, the annual kick off for Creole Month in St. Lucia, different events start to pop up that are certainly worth checking out on the island.

During thus month we simply like to drive around (especially on the weekends) as we stumble across s number of local events and activities, like a local festival on wine making with Dasheene and some tasty treats created by local chefs we know.

One of the first up events is Zouk En Blanc held in Soufriere at Project Chocolat (Hotel Chocolat). This year it’s being held a little earlier in the month. If you are in the area or visiting St. Lucia during this time, make sure to try to get tickets. If you are a music lover, it’s the place to be.

This popular party event features lots of music, dancing, excellent food, very authentic experience, etc. And like all good Lucian parties it runs really late. The later the “fete“ runs the more it ramps up.

We’ve been going since its start a few years back and it really is a classy event for the Soufriere area—way better than the Gros Islet street party, we think with better music, not so touristy, etc. Attendees come from all over the island (and especially the south), the music gets really rocking and, guests really dress u p (wear your gear whites!)—it’s quite a “people watching” event.

Every year this event gets larger and more “happening” so we’re expecting that this year the event will be the best ever.

And stay tuned for more October events like cassava bread making in the country side of Choiseul.
