Twin Cities Pride, one of the largest Pride events in the country, includes a parade, several concerts, a 5k race, and a host of other activities. Special guest appearances in the past few years have included Kathy Griffin, The Pointer Sisters, and more. Pride is held annually during the last weekend of June.

The North Africa American Cemetery and Memorial honours 2,841 WWII soldiers who fell during the often-overlooked North African campaign. Spread across 27 acres, their headstones align in nine precise plots, divided by paths meeting at decorative pools. The chapel and memorial court feature mosaic maps detailing American military operations across Africa to the Persian Gulf. Their design blends seamlessly with local architecture, creating a space of quiet reflection.

Surfing on St Barts offers diverse conditions for all skill levels, with winter swells (November through March) delivering ideal waves up to 3.5 metres at spots like Lorient Beach. CaribWaterplay, operating since 1983 on St Jean Beach, provides lessons, gear rentals, and guided excursions — perfect for beginners learning basics or advanced surfers chasing reef breaks. Windsurfers thrive on consistent trade winds, from Grand Cul de Sac’s calm flats to Toiny’s challenging "Washing Machine" chop. Kitesurfers favor Grand Cul de Sac’s shallow, reef-protected bay for practicing tricks in steady breezes. Whether you’re renting gear or booking a pro instructor, St Barts’ varied coastline ensures an adrenaline-packed session.

Sorobon Beach, in the southern part of Lac Bay, is a great place to try water sports — especially windsurfing — or to improve your skills against the steady wind. And if it's relaxing you're after, there are plenty of shady spots and bars to just soak up the unspoiled views.
