The Virgin Islands Police Department is pleased to welcome the UberSoca Cruise to St. Thomas on Wednesday, Nov. 19. The UberSoca cruise is one of five ships scheduled to call in St. Thomas Wednesday.
As thousands of revelers arrive on island, we encourage our community to join us in showing our visitors the warm hospitality and vibrant spirit the Virgin Islands are known for.
A parade/tramp is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m., departing from the WICO dock and traveling westbound along Edward Blyden Road onto the promenade. Participants will turn around near the police station and return to the WICO dock using the westbound lane. The event will conclude with a food-fair-style celebration.
Motorists are strongly advised to use alternate routes when traveling westward during these hours due to anticipated traffic delays.
Community & Visitor Safety Reminders
The VIPD urges everyone, residents and visitors alike to enjoy the festivities safely and responsibly:
• Stay hydrated, especially while walking or dancing in the sun.
• Drink alcohol responsibly and know your limits.
• Do not drink and drive; designate a sober driver or utilize taxi services.
• Follow all traffic and crowd-control instructions issued by police and event personnel.
• Keep personal belongings secure and remain aware of your surroundings at all times.
• Respect fellow revelers so the event remains enjoyable for everyone.
