26th Annual St.John Folk Life Festival
Folklife in the Virgin Islands is as colorful and diverse as the flora and fauna of our national park! Come, meet and greet a multi-generational cadre of local musicians, artisans, dancers and culture-bearers at the event! Presenters will include, but are not limited to, Dr. Gilbert Sprauve, historian & folklorist; Mr. Glen “Kwabena” Davis, folklorist; Senator Myron Jackson, liberation and storytelling; Mr. Eddie Bruce & Co., History of African Drumming; and “The Music Makers”, an all-star group of tradition-bearers, performing the indigenous music they have helped preserve.
Interested in helping to promote and support the Folk Life Festival? We are still looking for critical funding for this event to pay for transportation for school children to be able to attend on field trips as in years past! Please contact Tonia Lovejoy at tlovejoy@friendsvinp.org or call (340) 779-4940 for more information on how you can help make this happen!
