Every year, Grand Case comes alive again with the village’s most anticipated event: Grand Case Tuesdays (Les Mardis de Grand-Case). For the 2026 edition, the celebrations return starting Tuesday, February 24, 2026, for six consecutive Tuesdays, with a festive atmosphere combining an artisan market, local gastronomy, live music, and parades.
If you’re visiting Saint Martin (or you live here!), this is exactly the kind of evening that instantly immerses you in local culture: warm, vibrant, and all about sharing.
Grand Case Tuesdays: what is it exactly?
Grand Case Tuesdays is a weekly evening event where Grand Case Boulevard turns into a true “village celebration.” People come to:
stroll through the artisan market (local creations, souvenirs, jewelry, décor, etc.)
taste the food corner and local specialties
enjoy concerts and live music
watch the parades and feel the carnival-style energy that brings the streets to life
The event is organized by Calypso Event.

2026 Theme: “The Treasures of Grand Case”
This year, the event is built around a strong theme: “The Treasures of Grand Case,” with the goal of highlighting the village’s gastronomy, culture, and local talent.
It’s a great guiding thread to (re)discover Grand Case in a different way: its artisans, musicians, Caribbean influences, and everything that shapes the identity of the place.
Why go: the “Grand Case by night” experience
What makes Grand Case Tuesdays so special is the perfect mix of:
the evening market vibe (strolling, chatting, tasting)
the cultural dimension (dance, drums, costumes)
an ultra-friendly atmosphere for everyone (families, couples, groups of friends)
And above all, it’s a great way to support local artisans and artists while enjoying a simple, festive night out.
Tips to make the most of it
Arrive early (around 6:00–6:30 PM): you’ll enjoy the market before the biggest crowds arrive.
Bring cash: some stalls don’t always accept cards (it depends on the vendors).
Wear comfortable shoes: you’ll walk, stop, move, dance… in short, you’ll live the night.
For photos/videos: film the parade in a wide shot and capture details (costumes, drums, food stands) for great Instagram/Reels content.
Think about parking: event nights can be busier than usual.
