Heineken Regatta

 Heineken sponsors several days of top level racing around the island on the first weekend in March. It starts on Thursday night with a big party at Princess Casino. Friday brings a race around the island, essentially from Simpson Bay to a big party in Philipsburg. Saturday is a race from Simpson Bay to a party in Marigot and Sunday has the survivors racing from Marigot back to Simpson Bay for a grand finale that finishes in the wee hours to be followed by various after-party parties.
