Only in the country during patron saint day festivals or at a folk dance performance are you likely to see rose , a slave woman 's washing dance ; grage , with dancers mimicking tapioca graters to the beat of goat-skin drums ; the haute-taille , an adaptation with accordion and drums of a European quadrille ; or the bel-air , an African-Creole version of a three-figure quadrille .
The biggest date of celebration , oddly enough , is Columbus Day .
