- Sunday Ceilidhs in Judique, a must if you are in or near Judique if not, here's the plan, pack up some friends or a significant other or both and head to Judique for some great tunes on a Sunday. It's a bit of a long trip if you are on the eastern side of the island but a drive across the Island is beautiful any time of year and some great tunes on the other side is always worth it.
