What To Expect?

St. Thomas Carnival is about celebrating life and freedom which is done through costumes, dancing, parades, parties, pageantry, music, food, drinks, singing, family, friends and lots of fun. Loads of live music shows, pageants, fairs and mouth-watering local food and drinks are available for your delight.


This will be a high energy experience unless you opt out of the festivities and chose to relax and be an observer.


Pick the LIT 🔥package that fits what you envision for your experience, where every moment is as captivating as the destination itself. 



🎶 Nightly Village

What it is: A festive open-air marketplace with food, drinks, local vendors, and live music every night.
Vibe: Family-friendly and casual — a great spot to eat, mingle, and dance.
Think: A street party meets night market. New Orleans Jazz Festival/French Quarter style


🎨 J’ouvert (pronounced “joo-vay”)

What it is: A pre-dawn street party where people dance through the streets behind music trucks, often covered in paint, powder, or mud.
Vibe: Wild, energetic, and messy — a “let go and get loose” type of celebration.
Think: A sunrise bash with music, drinks, and paint flying everywhere! (1 am until)


👑 Adult Parade

What it is: The grand Carnival parade featuring masqueraders (like you!) in full costume, dancing down the streets behind their bands for hours.
Vibe: High-energy, colorful, and performance-focused — this is the main event for showing off your costume and vibes.
Think: Full glam, feathers, sequins, music trucks, and dancing all day!
