It’s almost that time of year! The 2023 carnival festival is just weeks away! The schedule was released yesterday, and it looks great!
The 2023 St. John Celebration begins on Saturday, June 10th with Pan-o-Rama, which will take place at 4 p.m. in the park across from the ferry dock.
There is something new and exciting happening this year too… REAL CARNIVAL RIDES! As the mother of an almost five-year-old, I am ridiculously excited about this! We have not had real carnival rides on St. John in well over a decade, so a HUGE thank you to the organizers for this. They are currently being stored in the gravel lot, and have I mentioned how excited I am about this??!! lol
The Children’s Carnival, dubbed Coney Island, is scheduled to open on Sunday, June 18th at 1 p.m. The schedule says the location is TBD. I’ll keep you posted on this.
Food Fair is scheduled for Sunday, June 15th at 1 p.m., and the Village opens on Thursday, June 29th.
J’ouvert is scheduled for sunrise on July 1st. The parade starts around 11 a.m. on July 4th and the fireworks are scheduled for 9 p.m. that night.
Here is the complete schedule. How beautiful does my friend Siobhan look in this pic??!!
Buy those tickets, folks! This is going to be a great event!
