We may not be dreaming of a white Christmas, but there’s no lack of Christmas spirit on St. Croix. This Perfect Day on St. Croix actually encompasses a weekend and will make you feel merry for the whole month!

One of our very favorite days of the year on St. Croix is Christmas Boat Parade day. On Saturday, December 8, boaters will adorn their sailboats, fishing boats, and motor boats with festive lights and take laps around the Christiansted Harbor while playing cheerful Christmas music. This year is the 20th anniversary and is sure to be a blast. Speaking of blasts, immediately following the parade, fireworks will light up the Christiansted night sky.

Get to town early to enjoy food and drinks from street vendors and restaurants. Plus, you’ll want to scope out a spot on the boardwalk to take in the parade.

The following day, Sunday, December 9, is Christmas Spoken Here at the St. George Village Botanical Garden. Do your holiday shopping with arts and crafts vendors. Indulge in treats from food vendors. Enjoy live entertainment from local musicians. And there will be a special visit from Santa Claus himself! Centerline is a proud sponsor of a Christmas Tree for the Meet Me Under Mistletoe Gala and Christmas Spoken Here.
