Moko Jumbies 🎭 are synanamous with Carnival and the Caribbean.

I’d look forward to seeing them during the parade and there’s always something mesmerizing about their costumes, the vibrant 🎨 colors, and how they’d dance while making their way up the street during the parade.

If you haven’t seen Moko Jumbies yet, I highly recommend attending St. Thomas 🇻🇮 carnival, which is taking place in April and into May. (Visitusvi.com for all the info.)

#Repost @hops_and_charlie ・・・ I stay reppin USVI 🇻🇮 While my moms family is from literally ✨ALL✨ over the Caribbean (Trinidad, Dominica, Barbados, etc.) she was born and raised on St. Croix, USVI and I was lucky enough to be raised with the culture. As soon as I saw this can from @abitabeer , I knew I needed to save it for the next time I got to do my favorite festival, Carnival! 🦚 Jockamo, is DDH Juicy IPA and I just loved it. While Jockamo is more for Marco Gras, the parades, music, and feathers is definitely shared among the cultures! ABV: 6% . . . Carnival is my favorite festival and my dream is to dance in the streets as a Carnival dancer🦚✨ What is your favorite world festival? . . . #beer #beerlover #cheers #happyhour #beerbabe #craftycleavage #craftbeer #gastrobar #brew #brewery #hops_and_charlie #usvi #stcroixusvi https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2df9rr9qj/?igshid=1upeeokw2l1lg
