gtaylor Posted November 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I'm certain that there will be lots of celebration in Philipsburg, but I believe that the two sides of the island alternate the 'Official Celebration' and it is scheduled to be on the French side in 2012. Philipsburg events will most probably include a Frontstreet parade and festivities at the Festival Village on Pond Island, located across a walkway a couple of blocks behind the Court House. That said, here are some links to the local paper describing last year's events. Packed agenda for St. Maarten/St Martin Day St. Maarten/St. Martin Day has memorable observance Pride, allegiance and family ties buzz words of St. Maarten Day And is a video of the Philipsburg St. Maarten Day parade, via YouTube. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Trimble Posted November 13, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2012 This is brilliant news! I asked the same question a while ago but got no response so I assumed that it wasn't celebrated. We are going to be there in 2013 - even MORE excited now, a whole year of looking forward to it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
