BVI Full Moon Party was used to promote VI as summer destination- BVITBFC
The campaign, according to the BVITBFC in a press release on April 15, 2025, kicked off on Saturday, April 12, 2025, with the BVI Full Moon Party, which is inspired by the iconic full moon parties held in Trellis Bay and Jost van Dyke, marked the official launch of the BVI tourism season in the Puerto Rican market. The event venue was the spectacular Vivo Beach Club in Carolina, Puerto Rico.
VI hospitality, music, culture & pride
“The BVI Full Moon Party is already a tradition that showcases our hospitality, music, culture and our pride in our islands. This activity allows us to introduce ourselves to the Puerto Rican public and gives us the opportunity to invite them to come to our territory and enjoy all of the maritime and land attractions that we have to offer,” said Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7), who traveled to Puerto Rico to support the BVITBFC’s efforts to promote the destination.
Organised by the BVITBFC, the BVI Full Moon Party drew over 800 local guests who enjoyed a vibrant show featuring mocko jombies, fire dancers, a summer fashion show and live music by the Virgin Islands own cultural band, The Lashing Dogs.
Attendees also sampled a VI-inspired menu, with dishes such as conch fritters with lemon chili aioli, mini lamb empanadas with chipotle sauce, and mini meatballs in hoisin BBQ sauce. Main courses included shredded cod in banana leaves with mango saffron chutney, pork “wings” in craft BBQ sauce, coconut curry stewed chicken, coleslaw, and Johnny Cakes. Guests were also introduced to the BVI’s signature drink, the Painkiller.
Event guests also participated in a raffle to win stays at VI properties such as Leverick Bay, Myett’s, Nanny Cay, Oil Nut Bay, The Hideout, Anegada Beach Club, Bitter End Yacht Club, Rosewood Little Dix Bay, Saba Rock and Long Bay Beach Resort. Several of these partners attended the event.
Christmas in July invitation
In addition to Premier Wheatley, BVITBFC personnel were also at hand to engage with potential Puerto Rican visitors, who were interested in learning about the destination and special offers for the summer travel season.
Premier Wheatley also invited guests to make plans to attend the BVI Xmas in July event, which will take place in Pond Bay, Virgin Gorda, on Saturday, July 26, 2025.
Last year, this event drew almost 5,000 people and 500 boats to Pond Bay Beach to celebrate the traditional end of the VI summer travel season in Puerto Rico. The event is organised by Wally Castro Marine, the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board & Film Commission and Marcos Rivera.
