Island Update: Live Music Issues, Farmers Market & More!

I needed a pic to go with today’s post, so please enjoy these donkeys I saw the other day. 🙂

Hello everyone, and happy Wednesday! There are a lot of little things happening around St. John, so I thought I would do a quick island recap today. Enjoy!

Ok, let’s start with the elephant in the room – live music at The Beach Bar. I purposefully have not touched this topic for several reasons, but I have received a lot of questions about this, so here we are. For those of you who are unaware, The Beach Bar stopped having live music a few weeks ago. The exact issue why is unclear, so let’s just call it an internal issue. I have no doubt that this will be sorted out and that live music will return in the future. I have seen a lot of people online place blame on different businesses and people. That’s not really fair until the truth is known. And it’s quite possible that the truth will never be known. So let’s continue to keep the love in Love City and patiently wait for the music to return.

In the meantime, there are several other places where you can hear live music around the island. In fact, a new live music spot popped up in Cruz Bay this week. Tap & Still, which is a restaurant/bar located across the street from Woody’s, had a woman signing outside when I drove past last night. They cordoned off an area beside the restaurant and next to the sidewalk. They added some tables over there, and I believe a smaller satellite bar too. It looked pretty cute.

There is always live music at Lovango Rum Bar and The Windmill Bar too. I heard Drink even had some live music the other night too. Miss Lucy’s is still holding an open mic night every Thursday too. I believe Sun Dig has one as well. So there are plenty of places to get your live music fix if you are visiting the island while The Beach Bar sorts out its live music issues.

Now let’s talk food! Mongoose Junction will begin holding a monthly farmer’s market this Sunday. The farmers market will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the first Sunday of the month. I am super excited about this. Thank you Mongoose!

Speaking of the weekend, yours truly is going away for a couple of days. Thankfully a good friend is staying at our house to watch Linda and Lucy, our two ACC rescues. So where do people vacation when they live in paradise, you ask? (I get asked that a lot! haha) Well, we are taking Dalton to Disney World! It’s just a quick long weekend trip, but it should be a blast.

So because I will be on vacation this weekend, I will not be posting as much over the next few days, and it may take me longer to respond to emails. So please forgive me in advance. 🙂

If you are looking to book an island tour for February, please know that the calendar is already pretty full. March and April are filling in too. It is never too early to book your island tour, so please send me an email at jenn@explorestj.com to reserve your spot. You can learn more about my island tours at www.explorestj.com/tour.

That’s it for today. Have a good one, everyone!
