COCO BITS
A BIT ABOUT ST. THOMAS CARNIVAL
Back when the islands were part of the Danish West Indies, the first St. Thomas Carnival was held on February 14, 1912 with the second in 1914. Early Carnival celebrations included live bands, a Carnival queen, donkey races, and a parade. 38 years later, the event became an annual tradition when in 1952 a local radio host, Ron de Lugo, revived Carnival. It was held each April until COVID-19 put a hold on the beloved festivities in 2020.
