This Year’s St Thomas Carnival Is Shaping Up to Be One of the Most Dynamic Editions Yet, With Three More Stars Signed On

The pulse of the Caribbean is getting louder as the countdown begins for one of the region’s most anticipated cultural celebrations — the St. Thomas Carnival in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

With just days to go, the U.S. Virgin Islands has unveiled exciting additions to the Carnival Village entertainment lineup, with a week of high-energy performances and unforgettable island vibes on tap.

Leading the charge is soca superstar Farmer Nappy, who will open the Carnival Village on Monday, April 28, igniting the festivities with his signature blend of feel-good anthems and crowd-moving rhythms.

But that’s just the beginning.

The celebration continues with dancehall dynamo Valiant, set to take the stage on Thursday, May 1, bringing his viral hits and magnetic stage presence to the heart of Charlotte Amalie.

Closing out the week with pure soca power is Lyrikal, whose performance on Friday, May 2 is expected to be a high-octane highlight of the Carnival Village experience.

From the colorful parades and calypso shows to local cuisine and cultural traditions, St. Thomas Carnival is more than a party — it’s a vibrant expression of Virgin Islands heritage.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a carnival veteran, this year’s lineup is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic yet.
