Public Holiday | Commemoration of the Great March of 1949 and the Restoration of the Legislative Council
The 1949 Great March and Restoration Day holiday commemorates the historic demonstration that was led by Theodolph Faulkner, Isaac “Glanny” Fonseca, Carlton deCastro, and over 1500 Virgin Islanders who marched through the streets of Road Town to the Commissioner’s Office (today known as the Governor’s Office) in protest of issues significantly affecting the quality of the lives of Virgin Islanders.

The Islands
Anegada
The only coral island in the Virgin Islands’ volcanic chain, Anegada is characterized by its nearly flat elevation, the striking coral reefs that surround it, secluded sandy beaches and clear springs bubbling from coral beds.
Jost Van Dyke may be the BVI’s most colorful island — both in terms of vegetation, and history. To make your way here is to make some incredible memories.
