Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Frederiksted, U.S. Virgin Islands

St. Croix's carnival, organized into its modern form in 1952 and run by the VI Department of Tourism's Division of Festivals. Festival Village booths sell local food and artisan crafts through late-night hours across the nine-day run, alongside pageants, calypso and soca competitions, J'ouvert and two parades.

Artisan market in the historic downtown district. Woven baskets, soaps and lotions made with Caribbean-sourced essential oils, and jewelry worked from conch shells and sea glass, alongside vendors selling fresh island fruit, vegetables and fish.

The St. George Village Botanical Garden's largest annual fundraiser, drawing over 100 local craft and food vendors. Educational workshops, blacksmith demonstrations in the restored 200-year-old shop, tropical fruit tastings and the long-running mango eating contest. The Garden publishes a vendor map and vendor list for each edition.

Our Town Frederiksted's monthly waterfront series, launched in 2024 to revive downtown nightlife. Food, beverage and artisan vendors are a standing recurring feature alongside live music, dance and spoken word. Admission is free; the organizer runs a bar as a fundraiser for town revitalization projects.

Run by the St. Croix Landmarks Society on the grounds of Estate Whim Museum, and organized annually since shortly after Hurricane Hugo in 1989 specifically to give island craftspeople a selling outlet. Local artists, jewelers and craftspeople exhibit alongside food vendors and local musicians. Vendors apply by downloadable form submitted by email, mail or in person, with booth payment by PayPal or in office.
