Amidst outcries from the St. Croix community, the Division of Festivals has reverted to the Dec. 26 start date for Crucian Festival. This coming year’s festivities were scheduled to begin on Jan. 1, 2024. However, this change did not sit well with the community as it is tradition for Festival to begin the day after Christmas.
