The story

Fete de St Helier in St Helier

The Fete de St Helier is a free, weekend-long street event staged in the Town Centre of St Helier, Jersey's capital parish, most recently held across a Saturday and Sunday in mid-July.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The event's structure pairs a daytime market and workshop programme with an evening stage finale each day, and includes a specific recurring attraction, the Jersey Showman's giant-bubble performance in the afternoon, that has become one of its identifiable features

02

The mystery stays covered

As a parish-run, free town-centre event rather than a beach, marina or single-theme festival, it functions as St Helier's general community celebration, distinct from Jersey's more specialized food, music or beach events held elsewhere on the calendar
