St John Festival and US Virgin Islands villas
For your US Virgin Islands villas holiday see the Caribbean's best blues show, St John Blues Festival. The artists are not always well known, but leave it to the festival’s creator to know great blues when he hears it. Venues host brilliant blues bands in St John and the whole island gets into it.
The St John Blues Festival takes place each year toward the middle to end of March so if you are a blues lover, plan your US Virgin Islands villas holiday for March. The event begins on Wednesday evening and runs until the final show on Saturday night. One of the unique things about this festival is that each year the committee chooses a new non-profit organisation to receive the funds earned by the festival. Also as a nod of appreciation to its visitors most shows are free.
St John Blues Festival venues
St John Blues Festival has multiple venues around the island. This helps get everyone in on the fun. Staple venues include Island Blues in St John town, Shipwreck Landing in Coral Bay, and Wharfside Village and Junction Courtyard in Cruz Bay.
