U.S. Virgin Islands - In observance of the 2026 St. Thomas Carnival season, the district offices of Congresswoman Stacey E. Plaskett on St. Croix and St. Thomas will be closed beginning Wednesday, April 29 through Friday, May 1, 2026. All offices will be open on Monday, May 4, 2026.
"Our carnival and festival celebrations are where our ancestors' stories live. In every parade costume, every pan note, and every Jouvert morning and parade day rhythm echoing through the streets," shared Congresswoman Plaskett.
"I would like to thank every vendor, every performer, every organizer, and every volunteer who poured their energy into making this year's carnival possible. You are the backbone of this event, and we are grateful. Also, a very special thank you to our Virgin Islands Police Department and first responders for their service and for keeping us safe as we celebrate.
"Happy St. Thomas Carnival to all!"
