Even if you wanted to go to taste of St Croix you probably won't be able to. You have to know someone who knows someone...

Marlene thats not true at all. They sale tickets to anyone. You can also try being a volunteer to go. It's a completely magical night. If you've never gone to a taste st croix, it is utterly worth the price of tickets. It is the best thing we do on this island.

Some of the food's ok, some of it's excellant, some of it runs out quickly, but there is so much there you will never be able to eat from every booth. Last year starfish bakery had a booth, hope they're there again. 🙂

I know Betty, but the tickets go within hours, then you have to know someone who knows someone that bought them up.

The taste of STX used to be a great event. The past couple of years it has just become an elbowing event. - elbowing people is the only way to move around. The venue is too small for the number of people and last year many vendors ran out of food. Not sure it's worth the price anymore but it is a good way for restaurants to get noticed.

i was wondering if you really can eat 75 dollars worth of food. i dont drink either, if i did it would really be worth it.
we didnt go to a new years event because the cost did not out weight the benefit. 50 bucks for dessert and drinks. i cant eat 50 bucks worth of dessert in one night.

Marlene all you have to do is get there early and wait in line, you will get tickets, been going for five years now. They generally start selling tickets around 9am or 10am. Just get there an hour early. Yes tickets will be bought up in an hour or two, but I don't understand why that would keep you from getting some.
Speedy, I think $75 is a bargain even if you do not drink, heres why, starfish bakery will be there. 😉 No seriously, its so expensive to eat out and the booths are serving fillet, lobster, sushi, duck, ash well as local favorites. So even if you're not a big eater, you can pick a bunch of expensive restaurants and really get you're moneys worth. My favorites usually end up being the local caterers, with local dishes. And Baci's always has the most amazing cocktails. Although last year cruzan rum was selling raspberry mojitos that were phenomenal.
