    Re: Nightlife in February?

    To attract more tourist to the island, the Jamaican-government Ministry of Tourism and Entertainment is making *moves* to *sell* February as "..Reggae Month.." ---- that is to say, for example, in brief & in-part, that they're *looking* for events/activities/etc. to '..hang-their-banner..' of *endorsement*.

    ergo, there'll be a push to hop on the ReggaeMonth-designation bandwagon.

    additionally, from an island-resident's point-of-view, from my personal observations, from past trips, Valentines Day is a BIG-Deal..!!..

    whereas, ValentinesDay 2014 falls on a Friday, it's easy to imagine that that weekend is gonna be UN-believable with party-options.

    Ja-folks love-love-LOVE Valentines Day..!!..
    so,
    of course, there'll be *something* for the tourist, but the better-parties are gonna be at the for-residents venues [[believe DAT..!!..]]

    lol
    lol
    lol

    whereas,
    you're gonna be there for TWO-months(.!!!..),
    by about month-#2 you'll be *ready* for a change-of-pace
    and antsy for some non-tourist stuff
    lol
    lol
    lol





    firstly,
    i haven't been on-island in 2-years,
    so,
    some things
    (which i'll *describe* below)
    *may* have changed since then

    however,
    i'm pretty confident that things haven't changed that much

    as somebody mentioned (above in this thread)
    stay alert, and look-out for the various banners, signs, flyers, posters, etc that area always here & there around Negril ---- primarily at the round-about, near ValueMaster supermarket. Sometimes you'll see 'em stuck on utility poles and/or trees and/or on a building wall.

    Inside stores & shops (such as beauty parlor/salon, or barber shops) you'll find flyers and/or small signs.

    another good-place to check for announcements is around the Negril bus/car-park (over-by the police station) ....

    [[[ off topic::>> f.y.i.... you'll probably stumble upon some GREAT eatin' places (daytime) around that bus park ]]]

    Sometimes,
    you might run into some-somebody(s) passing out flyers, cards, etc announcing an event.

    in your case,
    whereas you're staying in a WestEnd "..house.."
    i suggest that you chat-up your host/hostess and/or security-person(s), housekeeper(s), grounds-person(s), neighbors, etc. and tell 'em of your interest/desire to check-out *whatever* is scheduled/planned.

    i MUST mention,
    that it's NOT a good idea under any circumstances whatsoever for ANY-event to do the '..advance ticket purchase..' thing-y ~~~ pay at the door, even if the price is a likkle higher.

    IF,
    you hear-of, and opt to go over-to Lucea, GreenIsland, OrangeBay, SavLaMar, CousinsCove, LancesBay, BullsBay, etc etc for a night event, 'twould be a good idea to arrange a driver to take ya & bring ya back.

    which reminds me,
    taxi-men and drivers KNOW where all the parties are gonna be. .... check with them.

    in fact,
    with a driver
    you might be able to make an appearance at 2 or 3 parties ---- that should/could be big-fun..!!..

    I can easy-er-ly imagine,
    you-all riding to a party in GreenIsland,
    and along the way you see a large gathering of folks party-ing some(?)-place along the road.

    'Twould be a GOOD-opportunity to tell the driver to-STOP ... so you-all could pop-in on the party for a drink, fun, music, snack, and then hop back in the car for the next-party.



    as i type,
    dunno why,
    but a likkle-voice is whispering to me that some(?)-group such as the Negril Chamber of Commerce *might* be throwing a shindig some-place (e.g., at the Negril Golf Course club house). Those types of dress-up, hang-out with the big-folks events/parties can be VERY interesting and big-fun, as well.

    in closing,
    that-*voice* whispered again::::>>> *might* be something going on at the round-about craft market beach area, or some other non-tourist beach-front location (e.g., Office of Nature vicinity, Waves, or that other public beach area, just beyond Cosmos, etc.)

    keep ya eyes peeled, and your ears open
    chat up people & let 'em know of your *interests*

    have fun
    and PLEASE post and let us know whatcha do, and where you went, if you do.
