St BarthsSocial Calendar
Superyacht regattas, New Year's Eve in Gustavia, the gourmet and music festivals, Carnival: the island's season month by month, and what to wear to every one of it.
Editor's letter
Saint-Tropez in summer, St Barths in winter. When the Riviera closes its beach clubs, the same crowd crosses the Atlantic: the high season opens at Thanksgiving, peaks with New Year's Eve in Gustavia harbour, and carries on with the Music Festival, Carnival, the Bucket and Les Voiles until April.
We have gathered every date here. Dates marked "to be confirmed" follow the usual pattern of past editions. Tell us where you are going: we deliver on the island and bring dresses to try at your villa, hotel or yacht.
