http://www.vicarnivalschedule.com/stthomas/a great event to visit is the Food Fair/cultural fair on Wed. during the day, The Stadium events run late but the Steel Pan show is really impressive 4/24 and you could combine it with a walk in the Village, you will never see a parade as long, loud, hot and amazing as the adult Parade on saturday - it is a great event! There may be late ferries back to STJ - check at the ferry dock -- a $2 safari is ok on the way into town but they don't run after sunset so you will have to take a taxi - maybe set that up ahead of time. Great music, foods and a drinking crowd late but plenty of families in the earlier evenings at the village. I surely do not recommend J'ouvert.

Ditto for Food Fair! Food, handmade goodies, fruits/veggies/food products, music. I actually like the Children's Parade better than the Adult's, but both are long and usually hot. I haven't stayed for an entire parade in a long while! The Village is fun for the early evening, but when the bands crank up, I'm outta there.
If you take a regular taxi to town, ask if they will come back and get you at a certain time. The $2 safari would only work during the day.

LOL. After 20 years, I can only take a tiny bit of Carnival. The first year I did everything from Brass-O-Rama to J'ouvert to both parades, etc. I still think there are fun parts if you have never been, and I have friends who are die-hard-Don't-Stop-the-Carnival partiers! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Banana.gif" alt="" />

RAIN ain't stop no Carnival!! The Village opened last night -Friday - and will be open until next Sat. night - some booths do open for lunch but overall it gets started each night about 5-6 pm with music every night!
The boat races are in the harbor on Sunday too.
