BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI- On December 25, 2025, Long Bush came alive with the annual Long Bush Christmas Parade, held under the theme 'Rekindling a Tradition'.

The parade was led by Honourable Luce D. Hodge-Smith (R4), the District 4 Representative and Junior Minister for Culture and Tourism.

Event drew large crowds of spectators

This year, although there was a decline in the number of troupes, the event attracted a large crowd of spectators. The presence of the Pom Pom Girls, accompanied by a Grinch, added to the festive atmosphere.

The colours of Christmas and lively music were prominently featured throughout the parade, and the Euphoric Sky Dancers, also known as the Moko Jumbie stilt walkers, enhanced the overall experience.

There was also performances by Nouveau Royale Dance Group, EAPS, BVI Optimum Skydancers and Shooting Stars.

Live entertainment was provided by Intrusive Band, U.T.B, and Ova Drive, while mixing was done by Dj Fireblaze 1

Many spectators joined the fun by wearing their Christmas pajamas.

Return of Long Bush Christmas Parade

Virgin Islands News Online attempted to contact Honourable Luce D. Hodge-Smith for a comment on this year’s parade but was unsuccessful.

The highly anticipated parade began in 2007. However, a few challenges prevented the event from being held every year following its inaugural year.

It is under Hon Hodge-Smith that the event returned in 2023 after a 10-year hiatus.
