Festivals

Carnival, held every year, is the island's premier event. Thousands of islanders living abroad return home for this event, so make sure to reserve your hotel early if you plan to attend. The event culminates with a parade by troupes and floats of people wearing fanciful costumes.

Other events, such as the St. Thomas Agriculture & Food Fair and the Texas Society Chili Cookoff happen yearly, but many happen only sporadically. Check at your hotel to find out what is happening when you are in town.
