• Festival

  St. Maarten Heineken Regatta

  5.–8. marSportsarrangementMye folkBestill tidlig

  Four days of racing out of Simpson Bay in the first week of March, and the shore parties pull a bigger crowd than the boats do. Rooms on the Dutch side go months ahead of it. Kilde ↗

  Sea turtle nesting

  1. apr – 30. nov · vanligvis

  Leatherbacks come first in spring, greens and hawksbills through the summer and autumn. Nests on the quieter beaches are staked off, and lights or furniture near one is a fineable business. Kilde ↗

  10. apr – 5. maiMye folkStengninger

  A month of it, not a weekend: the village by the Great Salt Pond opens in April and runs nightly until King Momo is burned in early May. The Grand Parade closes the roads through town for most of a day. Kilde ↗

  The Dutch side takes 27 April off for the king's birthday, orange included, and it usually lands inside the carnival weeks. Government offices and banks shut; the beach bars do not. Kilde ↗
