Virgin Islands Carnival kicks of in St. Thomas, USVI!

April 6th was the kick off to the 56th Annual Virgin Islands Carnival. The theme for this years carnival is “A Cultural Escape for 2008.”

Highlights of this three week event will include the Calypso Spectakula, Prince and Princess Selection Show, and the Carnival Queen Selection Show. This three week party will also include music jamborees, calypso competitions, parades, samplings of island cuisine, pageants, and plenty of spirited local charm. The grand finale on April 26 features the ever-popular Adults Parade followed by an impressive fireworks display over Charlotte Amalie Harbor.

A yacht charter creates the perfect platform in order to take in this spectacle of fireworks during St. Thomas Carnival. It also allows guests the opportunity to pair a sailing vacation with a good dose of island culture.
