Lib in the Square is an over-18s open-air dance music event that takes over historic Royal Square in St Helier around Liberation Day weekend each May, with DJs performing from the balcony of the United Club building above a fenced crowd of attendees gathered below.
Lib in the Square converts St Helier's Royal Square into a fenced festival arena for a weekend tied to Jersey's 9 May Liberation Day.
The venue is the defining feature: Royal Square, normally an open civic space in the historic heart of St Helier, is fenced off and turned into an exclusive arena, with DJs performing from the balcony of the United Club building overlooking the crowd rather than from a ground-level stage
The event is strictly 18-plus, distinguishing it from Jersey's other, family-oriented Liberation Day programming, and a recent edition expanded to include a Friday-night companion event, LIB Live, ahead of the Saturday-Sunday main event
