I saw some recent photos of Orient Village showing craft stands set up selling items, I think on Saturday night. Was this just a pre-Christmas event or does it happen regularly? We're going to be in Grand Case for a week in January, but it's before the Harmony Nights events start, so it would be fun if Orient Village is hosting something.

It has changed over the years as to what evening it is held. At times they have live music or at least a DJ playing music. Used to enjoy watching the many bocci ball matches they had before most of the restaurants decided they needed to have seating on the stones where they played bocci. And, we have been there both in season and out of season and there is still an evening or two with stands with items for sale.

Just the craft sale stands, no music while we were there.

There was music, instrumental, two piece, when we were there in June this year. Very low key, but nice.

It may look like "bocci," but it ain't. It's actually a French variant called "petanque." They still can play at Bikini Beach, at least as of last February.
