The 2026–27 Crucian Christmas Festival is set to return to St. Croix with a full programme of music, entertainment, pageantry and cultural activities.

The U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism and Division of Festivals announced that the main festival will run from December 26, 2026, through January 2, 2027, while preliminary competitions and community events will begin earlier in December.

The programme will include the Prince & Princess Pageant and Calypso Monarch Competition, giving local performers and young participants opportunities to showcase Virgin Islands talent and traditions.

The Festival Village will serve as a central entertainment location during the main festival period, with nightly live entertainment, music, food and cultural activities planned for residents and visitors.

The celebration will conclude with a grand fireworks finale, adding another major attraction to the St. Croix holiday calendar.

With its combination of music, pageantry, food and traditional celebrations, the upcoming festival is expected to bring another major period of cultural entertainment to St. Croix.
