On Saturday, December 12, the only gay nightclub on the island "EROS" located in Marigot will be hosting a [RED] party mainly to target gay patrons that frequent the club. The party is being organized in collaboration with the HIV/AIDS Programme Management Team.
According to Bevil Byum, one of the organizers, the HIV/AIDS Programme Management Team has been doing a good job at targeting the general public by educating them about HIV/AIDS, but through this party we will be targeting a particular group.
Nanu, the owner of EROS is very supportive of the idea of hosting the [RED] party at her club. "She has been supportive year round, as she always provides educational materials and condoms at the club, and she is very happy to host this party," said Bevil.
Music will be provided by DJ Roland, who use to play at Orient Bay, and is well known on the French side for his modern upbeat house music. He will be playing a wide variety of music that night as it is expected that the party will attract a cross section of the community.
Bevil told us that the party is open to everyone, you don’t have to be gay to attend. Persons are asked to wear something red. The entrance fee is $10 and there will be a show at 1AM.
