St Croix Entertainment and Nightlife
 While St.
Croix is not known for it's nightlife, many restaurants and hotels
feature "live music" with everything from pop to
reggae to jazz, including piano bars. You can also find several
Traditional West Indian Dance and musical troupes. The casino at Divi
Hotel offers live music late into the night.
The Island Center for the Arts offers other cultural events
including symphonic and dramatic presentations.
Jazz concerts, Broadway plays, and comedy acts are just a few of the
entertainments presented in this 1,100-seat amphitheater. The Caribbean
Community Theater and Courtyard Players often perform here. Call the
ticket office for a current schedule and show times.

The
island is known in international circles for the St. Croix Jazz and
Caribbean Music and Art Festival. This main event draws top-notch jazz
and Caribbean musicians. You can find smaller performances during that
time at hotels, fairs, and other shows around the island. There are also
festivals held around Christmas, in March, and at other times throughout
the year.
"Jump Up" in Christiansted - For a good time, go to "Jump Up"
which is held at various times throughout the year. This is a
"carnival-like" evening filled with steel bands, dancing, local arts and
crafts, island food, and lots of fun in the streets and along the waterfront of
Christiansted!
Mardi
Croix - each February Cane Bay, on the scenic north shore of the island,
is transformed into one big colorful and noisy party...St. Croix's
version of Mardi Gras...MARDI CROIX! Click

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
