There are multiple displays of local dishes and foods such as roasted breadfruit, Coupe (a sweetbread made by mixing spices and sugar into flour and kneading it then baking it, usually served at breakfast), callaloo soup, green fig and salt fish (The National Dish of Saint Lucia), and grated vegetables such as carrots and cabbage.
A dish known as Bouillon (lentils/red beans and pumpkin soup with pork or beef, green plantains, dumplings, spinach, and chopped carrots along with other ground provisions) is usually prepared.
The most widely used instruments during Creole Day performances, besides vocals, are the "Shak-Shak" (similar to the maracas), the Boom-Boom (a large, wooden, windpipe instrument), Accordion, tambourine, and Tambos (a goat-skin drum, beaten during traditional dances or recitations of Creole-language songs or limericks).
Jounen Kwéyòl is usually observed by wearing the island's national wear, which is composed of the Wob Dwiete and jip ensemble for the women and a Madras (a special type of plaid material) jacket, white shirt, black slacks, and red sash for the men.
This event is also celebrated at schools, where students are allowed to dress in their Madras outfits and take part in the aforementioned activities.
