Is there an open air or street market in Saint Croix and if so when and where?
There are a few coming up....this Friday night is the Thanksgiving Jump Up in Christiansted from around 6-10 pm. The stores stay open late, there is great live music on several street corners, mocko jumbies, street vendors and more. Its a great time!
Then on Sunday is the Starving Artist Day at the Whim Greathouse in Frederiksted. It runs from 10-5. Admission is $5 and kids are free. There are at least 100 vendors, arts and crafts, locally made products, local food, plants, all your christmas shopping in one location. Plus its on the historic grounds of the Whim Greathouse, which is open for visitors.
Other than that, there is an open air farmers market every Saturday morning, at the La Reine intersection across from Centerline Car Rentals.
Plus, when cruise ships are in town, which is very rare, there is a Crucian Cultural Bazaar in Frederiksted.

thanks for the information. We are there Dec 3-10 so I guess we'll miss the special days. As long as it doesn't snow I'm sure we'll have a great time!
