2026 Season – Dates Confirmed

2027 Season – TBA – Taste of St. Croix has traditionally been held in mid-April each year. In 2026, however, the event moved to June, marking a departure from its usual schedule.

For more than 20 years, Taste of St. Croix has celebrated the special spirit and flavor of St. Croix by bringing together local chefs, restaurants, farmers, caterers, and distributors. When the event began in 2001, it was the brainchild of two local restaurateurs. They created it as a way to showcase the diverse and delectable cuisine and culture of St. Croix. Additionally, it highlights St. Croix’s many influences from all over the Caribbean and the world. Today, the Taste of St. Croix event is known nationally and abroad as one of the finest food and wine events in the Caribbean. The event continues to grow and attract guests, winemakers, rum distillers, brewers, celebrity chefs, foodies, journalists, and social media influencers.

Taste shines a spotlight on the growing culinary scene of St. Croix. But, Taste is also a fundraiser for local organizations. Taste of St. Croix has donated more than $350,000 to community programs and local organizations since its inception. Also, the Taste of St. Croix 365 Program comprises a year-round calendar of projects to support and promote the island’s hospitality industry. Taste of St. Croix is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit that promotes and showcases the talent and potential of St. Croix’s hospitality industry. It does this through fostering partnerships and sponsoring training and industry events. Furthermore, it builds public awareness of the critical role that the service-industry fills in improving the socio-economic future of St. Croix and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Taste of St. Croix has donated more than $400,000 to community programs and local organizations since its inception.
