Everyone loves a party and Peter Island treats guests to "West Indian Night" each Monday at the beachside bar and grill. The festivities center around traditional island fun, food, and entertainment.

A Manager's Cocktail Party starts the celebration with an open bar and appetizers served in the gardens as the sun sets over the bay. A steel drum band plays Caribbean songs while guests and palms sway at the water's edge.

Inside the restaurant, a bountiful buffet awaits guests and is an endless profusion of traditional West Indian delights -- Rice & Peas, Johnnie cakes, island vegetables, conch fritters, grilled shrimp and swordfish, Island roast pork leg with mango salsa to name a few. A separate dessert buffet offers Guadeloupe apple cake, Key Lime pie, bread pudding, Tortolan carrot cake, and Peter Island's famous over-sized cookies.

Sometimes, another special entertainment is in store for guests. A 9' tall figure, followed by four others, appears at the end of a walkway and rhythmically moves toward the restaurant. Mocko Jumby Dancers on stilts, towering above all, have arrived for the final event. The steel drum band shifts into a faster beat to provide background music for a half hour of dances and antics. Yes, these are the famous "stilt walkers", another sensational and colorful Caribbean tradition.

West Indian Night is truly a fun event, and another one of the many island experiences guests enjoy during their vacation in paradise.
