Updated: 3 days ago
Looking for St. Croix Carnival 2026-2027? Here’s this year’s guide.
The 2025–26 Crucian Christmas Festival has ended. This archive brings together my published Festival Village videos, J’ouvert photographs and the announced schedule for Frederiksted, St. Croix. The festival was organized by the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism’s Division of Festivals.
The core festival ran December 26, 2025 through January 3, 2026, with related activities in this archive extending from December 25 through January 6. The theme was “Timeless Traditions in Every Mix.”

Archived St. Croix Carnival 2025–26 Schedule & Daily Lineup
Carnival season on St. Croix brings together daytime events, J’ouvert, parades, Festival Village performances and private fetes. This archive keeps the original announced listings together by date.
The official core festival ran December 26, 2025 through January 3, 2026. Additional privately promoted activities preserved in this archive extend from December 25 through January 6.
The general schedule and individual performance flyers sometimes show different late-night times. I have preserved the original flyers; the listings below describe advertised plans, not a verified record of the actual running order. The ferry flyer is also historical, not a current timetable.
