February on St. Croix

February brings comfortable, drier weather to St. Croix making it the perfect time for St. Croix to host the agricultural festival in the Territory, AgriFest. This weekend long cultural festival is a celebration and exhibition of local produce, livestock and and handmade products attended by visitors and exhibitors from around the Caribbean. February also brings one of Christiansted's four annual Jump Ups, the North Shore's Mardi Croix Parade and the annual Orchid Show at the St. George Village Botanical Garden. You can also continue to enjoy a few of the recurring monthly events such as Art Thursday in live music at the fort in Christiansted, and outdoor moves. Find out about all this and more below!
