St. Croix Holidays

We have more than our share of holidays in the Virgin Islands. Because we are part of the United States, we celebrate the same holidays as in America, as well as some of our own. Below, find a list of our "official holidays".

Please keep in mind, island time. Usually the day before and the day after are taken by locals, so you might find certain businesses and government offices closed or close early the day before.
