The stunning Pigeon Point beachfront in Gros Islet will once again be the backdrop for the Yamaha Sunfest, now in its second year.

Last year’s inaugural festival attracted thousands of visitors from France and Saint Lucia, who embraced one of the island’s largest beach celebrations.

Organizers are confident that this year’s event will continue to captivate attendees with its blend of exhilarating water sports, entertainment, and beachside fun.

The Yamaha Sunfest is not merely a festival; it offers a unique sensory experience that bridges the cultures of Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Saint Lucia through an exciting mix of musical genres, culinary delights, refreshing drinks, and thrilling water activities.

Saint Lucia will welcome a substantial influx of visitors from the French territories and neighboring islands for this vibrant celebration, kicking off on the evening of Friday, November 7, at the lively Gros Islet street party. The welcome party at On the Rocks, located on the Pier in Gros Islet, featured a dynamic lineup of local and French DJs.
