Celebrating Emancipation Day and Independence Day

Happy Emancipation & Independence Day

As we approach July, we would like to take a moment to celebrate two significant occasions: Virgin Islands Emancipation Day on July 3, 2025, and Independence Day on July 4, 2025. These holidays are an opportunity for us to reflect on the important milestones in our history, celebrate freedom, and enjoy the vibrant culture of the Virgin Islands.

Happy Virgin Islands Emancipation Day!

Emancipation Day is a time to commemorate the abolition of slavery in the Virgin Islands, a pivotal moment that paved the way for freedom and equality. On this day, we honor the resilience and strength of our ancestors who fought for their rights and laid the foundation for our community today. 
To our employees, customers, and vendors, we wish you a joyous Emancipation Day filled with reflection, celebration, and a deep appreciation for the values of freedom and unity that we hold dear.

Happy Independence Day!

Following closely on the heels of Emancipation Day, Independence Day is another occasion for us to celebrate the ideals of liberty and self-determination. It’s a time to come together, enjoy barbecues, parades, and fireworks, and truly embrace the spirit of our nation.

We extend our warmest wishes for a wonderful Independence Day to all our employees, customers, and vendors. May this day be filled with joy, pride, and cherished moments spent with family and friends.

Join Us on St. John!

We invite you to take a ferry from St. Thomas to St. John to celebrate these special occasions with us! St.John offers breathing views, lively celebrations, and a vibrant atmosphere that embodies the spirit of the Virgin Islands.  Whether it's enjoying local food, music in the festival Village or relaxing on the beach, we look forward to celebration alongside you.
