JOUNEN KWÉYÒL

Jounen Kwéyòl (Creole Day) is celebrated in Saint Lucia on the last Sunday of October across the entire island, and has been held annually since 1984. 

Jounen Kwéyòl observes the island’s multicultural creole heritage which mixes French, African and Caribbean influences. Tantalizing kweyol food, music, games and folklore comes together to give this festival a unique flavor. The traditional madras wear is worn and the local French-based Creole language is spoken.
