The Jounen Kwéyòl is the biggest Creole celebration in Saint Lucia, and it is held annually on the last Sunday of October. The Jounen Kwéyòl is not just a celebration. It is a declaration of the Saint Lucian identity, and the tradition is to speak Kwéyòl (the Creole language of Saint Lucia), eat Kwéyòl food (breadfruit, green fig, saltfish, and bouyon), and dance Kwéyòl music (the quadrille, the bele, and the la rose). The Jounen Kwéyòl is the most important cultural event in Saint Lucia, and the tradition is to wear the traditional Creole dress (the madras), and to celebrate the Creole culture with pride and joy.
