GREAT BAY--SXM Festival is preparing to celebrate its 10th edition with five days of electronic music across St. Maarten and Saint-Martin from March 17 to 21, 2027, announcing an initial lineup of 31 international artists led by Bob Sinclar, MEDUZA, Sasha, Claptone, Dombresky and Guy Gerber. The anniversary edition will once again transform beaches, clubs, villas and other locations across both sides of the island into entertainment venues, bringing international performers and music enthusiasts together for one of the Caribbean's established destination music festivals.

GREAT BAY--St. Maarten has taken a significant step toward strengthening its fisheries industry with the deployment of its first two Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs), designed to improve access to offshore fishing grounds, reduce operating costs for local fishers and support the country's food security. The devices, donated by the Government of Curaçao, were deployed on Wednesday, September 23, through an initiative led by the Ministry of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Transportation and Telecommunication (TEATT).
