below.
St. Paddy's Day here on St. Croix brings out a little bit of the
Irish in all of the islanders. The Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade is one of the best parades
on-island -- with wildly decorated floats, marching bands, honor guard, twirling majorettes and much more.
A'Irish Heart --- Crucian
Soul' theme lets everyone be Irish for the day. On St. Croix, the crowds are always ready to
take an active part in the festivities. The people who come to watch the parade are adorned
with colorful beads and decked out in green, some even painting themselves green and wearing leprechaun
ears and green hats! Some visitors to the island come down every year at this time just to
attend the parade and partake in the post-parade celebrations. Throughout the day,
festivities abound at the local pubs and beachside bars with entertainment and special activities.
This tradition may seem a little strange for the Caribbean, but the
St. Paddy's Day events have been going on through thick and thin for over 37 years. It is truly a
day of celebration and camaraderie, with the islanders coming together to dance to the music and party in
the streets. The people of St. Croix do love to party!
Enjoy the pictures and make your reservations at the vacation rentals
at Gentle Winds Resort for next year's St. Croix St. Patricks Day Parade and day-long festivities -- it's a very fun time
of year in St. Croix.
May the luck of the Irish be with you!
