Alexander Hamilton Jump Up!
The Jump Up! street celebrations in Christiansted take place four times a year in February, April, July and November. The Alexander Hamilton Jump Up! pays homage to one of the founding fathers of New York, who grew up in St Croix.
The party kicks off at 6pm and a plethora of street stalls offer food and drink and arts and crafts until around 10pm. The city's stores stay open till late and the capital's revellers "jump up" to the beat of the marching bands and other live street music.
Festivities wouldn't be complete without the customary party presence of the Mocko Jumbies - mythical African characters that float spookily by on stilts, dressed in billowing colourful silks.
