“This year’s theme is a powerful reminder of who we are as a people,” said Joseph Boschulte, U.S. Virgin Islands Commissioner of Tourism. “As we celebrate our heritage, St. John Celebration gives us the opportunity to share our stories, showcase our culture, and warmly welcome visitors to be part of our unique Caribbean experience.”
