St. Croix Boat Parade

Make sure your December holiday travel plans to St. Croix include the St. Croix Boat Parade. Each year, this event gets bigger and better. Recent parades have been featured on the Travel Channel as well as in travel, leisure and lifestyle magazines. Boats parade through the Christiansted Harbor while the crowd cheers them on. Prizes are given for best boat and the town of Christiansted comes alive with holiday cheer! The event ends with a sensational fireworks display over the harbor.

  • How fun it is to ride and sleigh....with a Mocko Jumbie made of lights and even Christmas carols coming from the boat.
