Well, the BVI doesn't really celebrate because they lost us! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> But St. John Festival commemorates Emancipation Day (July 3rd, when the Danes emancipated the slaves) and Independence Day (because we are the U.S. Virgins). There will be a Carnival Village, music, J'ouvert, parade and all sorts of stuff leading up to the fireworks display over Cruz Bay on the 4th. Here's the
schedule. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/usflag.gif" alt="" />
