The most important festival in modern Lucian culture is the "Jounen Kwéyòl" ("International Creole Day") held annually on October 28 since 1983. The "Jounen Kwéyòl" is sponsored by the "Bannzil Kwéyòl", an international organization. Lucian activities are run by the Folk Research Centre in conjunction with the National Research and Development Foundation and the "Mouvman Kwéyòl Sent Lisi" ("St. Lucia Creole Movement"). Lucian law protects the owners of intellectual property, such as songwriters, through the Copyright Act of 1995; copyrights are administered by the Hewanorra Musical Society.
