TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands 4th Of July

Hi all from the US!
We were supposed to be back on Tortola last week but a sports injury to my son delayed our trip. First time our kids will get to see the islands.

We are going June 28th through July 9th. My question is, what's it like on the 4th of July? Am I going to get dirty looks if I wear my Apollo Creed/Rocky Balboa swim trunks? Is it crazy to party a little extra to celebrate. I honestly don't want to piss anyone off...I mean, by now we have to be close to even getting hosed on taxes:)

The 4th of July is just like the 4th of June in the BVI. Nothing special at all.

We've gone during this week the last 2 charters (years apart) and the BVI is very kind to the Americans celebrating this holiday. We have planned to be in St. John each trip, as they had fireworks being a US territory... Hopefully they have the show this year too. We will be on charter on your same dates. Have a great time.

Thank you all, this helps.

Don't expect any special celebrations, but you also will not offend anyone if you wear American swim trunks and celebrate the holiday on your own!
