Fair Helen played host to the 2026 Saint Lucia Squash Open 2026 Tournament from June 18–21, 2026, breaking a 13-year hiatus. Spearheaded by the Saint Lucia Squash & Racquets Association, the four days of competition featured 28 competitors, including five international players travelling from St Vincent & the Grenadines, Canada and the United Kingdom.
