The Crucian Christmas Festival is a tradition rich in culture that represents the people and history of St. Croix. This celebration starts in mid December with the Miss. St. Croix Pageant and ends with the Three Kings Day Parade in early January.
Attend the food fair for a taste of crucian food. Enjoy such treats as traditional roast pork, crab and rice, and johnny cakes. If you have a sweet tooth you will find sugar cake, stew tamarind and other treats. Or have a glass of maubi, gingerbeer, coquito, or guavaberry rum. There are Calypso contests and a festival queen, prince and princess are picked. Join the scratch bands, quadrille dancers and sounds of calypso and quelbe for some serious dancing in the streets. There is also a Latin Night with Salsa competition.
