I know, they call it the "Les Mardis de Grand Case" now, but I still think of it as Harmony Nights! It starts Tuesday February 4. So far, I didn't see the story in the online version, but the full version says that it goes for 12 weeks, which I'm pretty sure is incorrect. Normally it's around 6 weeks. Anyway, it's a fun time, for those on island at that time.

We loved it but parking was a problem. We had to park at the airport and walk both ways. If we did it again, we would take a taxis and arrange for it to pick us up at a certain time.

Unfortunate you feel that way based on Hearsay. The event takes place in the street, is quite festive and the hurricane damage is not really apparent. The street is filled with people enjoying themselves. These locals need our support.

Wow. That is surprising! It's normally only around 6 weeks. Good news though, for those who will be on island. It's a great time, if you can figure out the parking situation.

OK, I guess I mis-remembered. I still think there were a few years that it was only about 6 weeks. But I have been wrong before, many times.

RonDon--The airport is a fair walk from the main part of Grand Case. A few years ago, there were shuttles from the airport to downtown. I guess that is not the case now?

I too wonder if the shuttles will be back. Also, a several years ago the hotels/TS had a bus. We were at Divi that year and at the activities desk there was a sign up brochure $10 pp.

Won't the construction work for Grand Case interfered with parking since Rue des Ecoles will be closed from January 27 to February 14th? During this time Grand Case Blvd will only be reachable via Esperance (Airport) Road. Then work directly in front of the schools Feb 17-28.
Maybe that's why Harmony Nights has extended weeks?
