The Virgin Islands Police Department is pleased to welcome the UberSoca Cruise to St. Thomas on Wednesday, November 19th, 2025. 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 11:00 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.
