Carnival 2007

April 15th, 2007 6:59 AM

Local Virgin Islanders look forward to the 2007 Carnival - easily the largest party with ongoing activities - from choosing a queen and king, calypso contests, food fair, jouvert, and the ultimate parade - adults and children alike relish in these activities.

For those thinking of coming to our island during the culmination week of carnival: prepare for higher prices for hotels, lots of traffic, little or no parking, and lower any expectations of conducting business -particularly anything to do with property closings!
