The Crucian Christmas Festival is a very special celebration for us, we are always excited to see tourists and former residents return to St. Croix to participate in the array of unique events offered by the festival every year with residents on St. Croix. The Department of Tourism and Division of Festivals celebrated another successful Crucian Christmas Festival — St. Croix’s signature cultural event spanning twelve days with rich array of activities according the VI Consortium.

In the Caribbean Journal’s “The 25 Best Beaches in the Caribbean to Visit in 2024,” the publication named Sand Point as their number one pick!
“Our number one beach for 2024 is a stunner: Sandy Point, the spectacular stretch of sand on the far southwestern tip of St Croix, just south of Frederiksted. This is a wonder of the Caribbean, tucked away in a National Wildlife Refuge, where you’ll feel like you’ve discovered your own secret beach. It’s a reminder of the sometimes overwhelming natural beauty of the island of St Croix. “
Caribbean Journal Staff – January 3, 2024
For this year’s list, the journal cited said their objective this year was to focus on beaches that are not just beautiful, but reachable. They further explain that means almost every beach on their list can be driven to from a Caribbean airport so you won’t need to charter a boat, or “say a secret password and commandeer a dinghy” to reach them.
The list also includes beaches in our sister islands on USVI:
No. 15 Maho Beach, St John, US Virgin Islands at number
No. 16 Magens Bay, St Thomas, US Virgin Islands

Question: “What holiday event on St. Croix has special meaning to you?
Christie’s Answer: Each year we attend as many local events as possible. They are so much fun, and a great way to bump into people we have not seen for a while. This year we met some friends, set up our chairs near the fort, and watched the Lighted Boat Parade. It had been a few years since we attended, and it was so much fun! We bought some street food, sat in our chairs, and enjoyed the motor and sail boats as they paraded past all decorated with lights! Many went all out in their decorations, mostly with a holiday theme. There was a flock of little sail boats, a Barbie boat, a jet ski car with a Grinch driving it, and many ablaze with lights! After they had circled the harbor a couple of times, we were entertained with a fabulous fireworks display! This is truly a family event. Children were running around in the grassy area by the fort, Santa was strolling about in his new USVI madras coat, and all of the lights in the streets downtown were lit. Love it!

Question: “The Crucian Holiday schedule has so many activities! What’s the best way to find them?
Chris’ Answer: Yes, there’s so much going on this time of year that it’s difficult to find all of the activities just to decide which ones you would like to attend! Sometimes I’m afraid I will miss something, so we check two calendars to try to discover them. There’s a calendar of events in the magazine, St. Croix This Week. Those magazines are found in racks all over the island, or can be seen on-line. Visit St. Croix has a calendar of events to check out. Another resource for everything happening here is Go To St. Croix. Between these resources, you will find so much to do this time of year!
