"Thousands of residents and visitors yesterday witnessed one of the greatest events in the history of St Croix- the revival of the old-time Christmas spirit." Those words were written in The St. Croix Avis on Friday, January 2, 1953. This is how it began fifty years ago, the tradition of Festival in St Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands.
This Christmas, St. Croix, thanks to hard work of the Crucian Festival Committee, celebrated 50 years in grand style. We celebrated through various activities such as the award ceremonies, queen show, prince and princess show, calypso shows, food fair, the village and the parades. There were visitors from all over the world, in particular those who came back home just for this momentous occasion. Everyone had a grand time. It was really, "A Golden Spree for the World to see, It's Crucian Festival 2003."
