Crucian Gold proudly announces its 8th Annual Serenade on Strand Street, a beloved cultural celebration honoring Virgin Islands music, artistry, food, and community. Taking place on Saturday, Nov. 22, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., this free, family-friendly event invites the entire island to kick off the holiday season.
Rooted in tradition, the Serenade celebrates the spirit of giving back. Every year, a portion of all Jimmy John Collection sales will be donated to the Ten Sleepless Knights Scholarship Fund, supporting educational opportunities for local youth and helping preserve Virgin Islands culture for generations to come.
The celebration will feature a live performance by the legendary Ten Sleepless Knights, filling Strand Street with quelbe rhythms throughout the afternoon. The music continues with special performances by the Guardians of Culture Moko Jumbies, the Caribbean Dance Company of the Virgin Islands, and the TSK Adult Quadrille Dancers, offering a vibrant display of movement, tradition, and Crucian pride.
Alongside the performances, guests can enjoy a curated lineup of local vendors, offering delicious food, handcrafted goods, and holiday treats, including:
