ST. CROIX — Gasaway Deli will host its Creole & Market Day celebration from Friday, October 30, through Sunday, November 1, offering three days of traditional Caribbean dishes, rotating daily specials, fresh produce, and seasonings at Gasaway Service Station & Mini Mart in Estate Orange Grove, Christiansted.
The event begins at 6 a.m. each day, with food available while supplies last. This year's celebration expands to three days, compared with the two-day event held in 2025.
Throughout the weekend, customers can purchase an assortment of traditional foods, including tititwi acra, roasted johnny cakes, stuffed plantain, saltfish balls, salmon balls, white pudding without blood, roasted and stuffed breadfruit, cassava bread, and saltfish with smoked herring.
Other weekend offerings include roasted dasheen, ferchin (cow skin), saltfish cakes, homemade bread, butter flap, and ducana with saltfish. Crab backs and ferchin will be available in limited quantities.
Each day will also feature a separate menu of Creole specialties.
Friday's selections include smoked turkey callaloo, crab callaloo, saltfish sanchoch with mashed breadfruit (ton ton), smoked pork in papaya sauce, fried pot fish, pelau, chicken soup, and conch water.
On Saturday, the menu will feature smoked chicken callaloo, seafood callaloo, goat water, fried fish in Creole sauce, tititwi in coconut sauce and papaya with provision, fish soup, and bullfoot soup.
Sunday's offerings include smoked turkey callaloo, pot fish in Creole sauce, seafood callaloo, pelau, smoked chicken in papaya sauce, chicken soup, and ducana with saltfish.
The market component will offer fresh produce, seasonings, and other items throughout the three-day celebration.
Gasaway has hosted previous editions of Creole & Market Day, bringing together traditional island cooking and locally available produce. Last year's celebration featured a similar assortment of Creole favorites during a two-day event.
The 2026 celebration takes place at Gasaway Service Station & Mini Mart, 3526 Estate Orange Grove, Christiansted, St. Croix — just before the Bypass heading east.
