Be patient with the picture
loading -- It's well worth the wait!
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. Patrick's Day Festivities -- it's a very fun time
of year in St. Croix.
May the luck of the Irish be with
you!
