Get Tickets For 1 Night, 1 Fête But First Get The Vaccine

ST. THOMAS, USVI — Tickets are now available for “1 Night, 1 Fête”, a one-night event in celebration of the 69th edition of Carnival Virgin Islands in St. Thomas. And while the event is being marketed to residents and visitors, only people with proof of having received the Covid-19 vaccine are eligible to buy tickets.

“1 Night, 1 Fête” is co-hosted by the Division of Festivals and Department of Health as part of the “Vaccinate to Party Safe” initiative. That initiative and it's related events all have the same objective: to help achieve Governor Bryan's goal of vaccinating 50,000 Virgin Island residents by July 1.

“We hope that people are encouraged to take the vaccine so that we can safely resume and enjoy in-person gatherings,” said Ian Turnbull, Director of the Division of Festivals.
