The countdown to the Virgin Islands Emancipation Festival is on! It’s the most anticipated cultural event of the year and we are excited to present the ultimate playlist that will have you ready to sing your heart out at the village every night.
This year’s festival promises to be bigger and better than ever before. The organizers have lined up an incredible roster of artists from across the Caribbean, including soca, reggae, calypso, and dancehall performers.
