Fisherman's Birthday, every June 29, is Gouyave's feast of St Peter. Fishermen from all over Grenada come for boat races, the blessing of boats, fish food and music.

Practical

Position is the Gouyave Wikipedia/GeoHack town coordinate. The date is fixed at June 29 (Wikipedia). Go by road from the south coast, since Gouyave has no protected anchorage. It falls early in hurricane season, when many cruisers are already in Grenada.
