When to Go to Martinique
When to Go to Martinique
High season runs from mid-November through May, and the island can be quiet the rest of the year, with some hotels closing down for months, particularly in September and October. Those places that remain open offer significant discounts.
Martinique's Carnival begins in January and runs until Lent, not unlike Mardi Gras in New Orleans. About 20 days into Lent there's a mini-Carnival called Micarême; this one-day hiatus from abstinence of parties and dances before sober times return until Easter. Early August sees the Tour des Yoles Rondes point-to-point yawl race. In odd-numbered years, the early-December Jazz à la Martinique festival usually draws a wide range of international talent, including such top performers as Branford Marsalis.
