The ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE began in 1969 when a group of local businessmen convened in HARRY'S OFFICE BAR on Queen Cross St. in Christiansted for a "cool one". The conversation got around to holidays and why St. Patrick's Day wasn't celebrated in the Virgin Islands, when so many other holidays were. Something had to be done! Within minutes, the first St. Patrick's Day Parade was born. To this day, it is going strong and is an important day for the community, beneficiaries and tourists. Click here for more info.
