WE HAD NO IDEA...THIS WAS FABULOUS it was the whole town OPEN from 6pm to almost midnight and the stores had big sales from 20 per cent off to 70%%%% OFF..unbelieveable they said it was last minute shopping fun
also the best thing was THE XMAS LIGHTS ALL OVER and xmas trees and the outsice FOOD MARKET it was like CARNIVALE!!!
THERE WERE STILTS PEOPLE WITH COSTUMES and about 20 steel bands all over town and the docks...
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww what a blast!

will post pix when i get home
The "stilt people" are Mocko Jumbies.
hey ginger
its yolanda your making me crazy , i wanna be there i can only imagine lucky you have a bushwacker for me they taste better there
I would love to see the Christmas lights and decorations. I leave on Sunday. I imagine everything will still be up.
It is a whole "1" degree here in PA today. I can't wait to get there!!!!!
The lights should be up through Three King's Day! Make sure you take a tour through town and see Roosevelt Park and Government Hill...
1 degree? Does the light come on when you open the front door? 😉
Just a quick note about the winners of the Lighted Boat Parade - for those of you who were there - Sailing Yacht True Love (she was fourth in line I think with the spiral lights up the mast) won first prize, Sailing Yacht Touch of Grey (Santa as piloting) won second prize and Topaz (the trawler) won third. Honorable mention went to Motor Yacht Canim. Thanks to all the boats! See you next year.
Pamela.
the boats were beautiful....
does anyone know where on the net there might be something written about the festivities....maybe from a local paper etc...?
also heard that maybe they do it again in july?
Hey Ginger, where you at? Am on island now and would like to meet. You'd have to look at a past issue of the VI Daily News for info on that.
will be there on Jan 5th on a cruise.. will the Christmas goodies still be up... happens to be my wife's birthday also... ain't she lucky... birthday in C-Amalie.. 🙂
Yes, we have a similar function in July called Christmas in July. Not nearly as big, but still a good time.
