Carnival
Carnival in St. John is a combination of celebrating the traditions of Carnival with emancipation and independence.  A month long event; festivities include music, the village, a food fair, parades and fireworks.  St. John Carnival occurs in late June and traditionally culminates on July 4th with a 4th of July Carnival parade.  Although St. John has a smaller population then it's sister islands it certainly comes to life for Carnival.  More specifically Cruz Bay comes to life as all the events are centered in the Cruz Bay area.  Ferries making trips between St. Thomas and St. John are usually filled as Carnival revelers head over for special events like the opening of the village and the parade.
