Scroll down and read the string "OK Who's got the best Caribbean food on STJ" and a lot of the information you want is there, especially the last posts. The USVIs probably have more holidays than any state but I can't name them.

Macy: Islander wants to throw you a lifeline. Look at the navigation bar at the top of this page and click "General Information." You will find many answers there!

Is that your final answer????
