EAST END, Tortola, VI- The East End and Long Look communities brought in the sunrise this morning, Wednesday, August 6, 2025, with celebration as the East End/Long Look J’ouvert revellers made their way through the streets from 4:00 AM.
Whether drenched in powder, paint or water, the pure vibes and nonstop energy promised by the planning committee were surely present as patrons partied in the streets from Greenland to Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and back.
Providing entertainment were Vibe on the J’ouvert truck, Big Shaw, DJ Pushpop, and DJ Dre on the Party Truck, who kept the vibes pumping and the energy high.
A display of freedom, culture & unity
The Virgin Islands Festival Committee described East End’s J’ouvert, saying, “This wasn’t just a celebration- it was freedom in motion, culture on display, and unity in every step.”
The East End/Long Look Festival was officially opened last evening, Tuesday, August 5, 2025.
Festivities continue in the East End/Long Look Community with the parade from 1:00 PM.

As much I does want to be interested the type of foot pain that comes with it is unbearable.
Ain ntn richer than lifeeeee
Stop changing God’s Word for your own selfish ways and reflect on your lives to try to live for God and not yourself, not people and definitely not this world.
God’s Word clearly says what happens if we don’t be obedient and surrender our lives to His will.
It’s time to think of that family member or friend who passed who wasn’t living for Christ.
It’s time to think of how you are living and ask yourself would God be pleased, would you be bending over gyrating, exposing your breasts and privates for attention, singing and dancing to worthless music if you stopped and realized God is seeing all of this behaviour?????
Your loved one who passed may not be here to get the chance to change their life if they weren’t living for Christ to have an eternal home in Heaven but you are here now so stop taking life for granted and choose to respect God each day by living for Him in your actions.
A word to those in power. If you don't find a way to help these young people you all are going to be in for a run next election.
Lots of untouched potential and human capital. Don't play the fool with them. They are not foolish one hype can't pay bills they need jobs. I don't want to hear about them lazy. Give them a chance to prove themselves and be patient with them. Someone was patient with you pay it forward you had to learn. Teach them. Festival seemed to have gone well. East set a New record so far. Culture is key to emancipation don't loose sight of it. Our ancestors sweat, tears and blood must not be forgotten.
