“The anticipation around this year’s St. Thomas Carnival is at an all-time high, and the Village night performers reflect the continued influence and growth of our territory’s three carnivals,” exclaims USVI Department of Tourism Commissioner Joseph Boschulte.

Adam O, Rudy Live, Temisha, Karnage, Blind Earz, VIO International, and Spectrum Band will showcase the talent of the U.S. Virgin Islands as they take the spotlight on stage.

“Every year, our goal is to pay homage to the vast Virgin Islands and Caribbean culture that is at the cornerstone of these annual celebrations for natives and visitors alike,” added USVI Division of Festivals Director Ian Turnbull.

VAYB, a Haitian kompa band, and Chiquito Team Band, a Dominican salsa orchestra, will merge cultures through music, reflecting the varied musical tastes of Virgin Islands locals. Also gracing the village stage are debut acts TeeJay, Jada Kingdom, and Kollision Band, alongside returning favorites like Edwin Yearwood and Krosfyah, and Grandmasters.
