St. John Carnival 2026: Small Island, Big Celebration

Don’t let the size fool you — when St. John throws a Carnival, it goes off. Held in June and peaking on July 4th, St. John Carnival 2026 is a one-of-a-kind fusion of Emancipation Day pride, Independence Day fireworks, and pure Caribbean energy.

From the lively Village filled with music and mouthwatering food to the Jouvert morning jam sessions and the parade winding through Cruz Bay, every moment is a celebration of freedom, culture, and community. With a backdrop of turquoise water and lush hills, it’s Carnival with an unbeatable view.

Freedom. Fireworks. Fête. This is Carnival, St. John-style.
