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
