Our Signature Events


Each year, VIMSIA hosts a series of large-scale public fundraising events, each benefiting a different area of our school—from international student travel to our robust athletics program.

These are the unforgettable moments that build community and keep the wheels of our school turning! Many signature events align with our signature giving opportunities.

CARNI-FALL at Coral World

CARNI-FALL is a lively Virgin Islands Carnival-themed evening held at Coral World shortly after the school year begins — a night of live music, refreshing drinks, mouth-watering food, and more! This event directly benefits our Annual Fund.

St. Thomas’ biggest holiday party! For over five decades, this seasonal celebration and “Casino Night” has kept St. Thomas gaming and dancing late into the night. Las Vegas Night helps subsidize tuition costs and fund scholarships for our students.
