Carnival in St. Thomas is a three-day extravaganza, which is the second largest in the Caribbean. It started back in 1912 but it did not become an annual event until 1950. It occurs after the Easter season.
Carnival brings people together which is one of the most important elements of the entire celebration. It is the blending together of the rich West Indian, African, European and American cultures that cause such exuberant and pulsating music. Carnival is the most anticipated cultural event of the year.
It is the festive celebration of music, dancing, singing, parades and masquerades. It draws on African and European customs and there is great music, exotic costumes, dancing, food and drinks. This spectacle has been growing every year in popularity and participation.

Where's the current dates? - Unlike other websites, CaribbeanChoice only publishes the official dates as released by the carnival organizer. Most other websites simply guess what next year's dates are. We don't do that. We want to make sure our information is as accurate as possible.
This page will be updated as soon as we get the official dates from the event organizer, or they post it on their official website, whichever comes first.
