From its inception the British Virgin Islands Music Festival showed potential to become one of the featured yearly events in the BVI. The music festival was first started by Frank Mahoney in 2000 with the help of local and government sponsorship. The festival was first a free event but the burden of improving the quality of the event for the thousands of visitor the BVI Music Festival committee saw a need for a small surcharge of $5 which grew to $20 in 2009. Over the year the BVI Music Festival has gone through many changes such as the inadequate parking at Cane Garden Bay in Tortola has caused the BVI government to restrict driving to Cane Garden Bay during the three night period in which the BVI music festival is held. The only persons that are able to drive to Cane Garden Bay are residents of the area who usually have to obtain a resident pass, person with VIP passes who are mostly Sponsors and person with a parking pass that may have brought from local resident and business operating in the area. All other persons heading to the British Virgin Islands Music Festival must get there by way of shuttle service. The shuttle service leaves from 2 main areas which are at the BVI Government Administration Complex in Road Town and Capoons Bay field (near Bomba Shack). These Shuttles charge a price of $5 pp one way. The shuttle operates every night from about 7pm until 11pm to Cane Garden Bay and from 11pm until the end of the show back to car parks at Capoons Bay and Road Town. Buses stop at the check point where the $20 surcharge or a ticket must be given before entering Cane Garden Bay.

Cash only is accepted for attendance and from most vendors at the BVI Music Festival. Dress code is whatever you like but I recommend shorts and flip flops. This way while the festival is in motion you can walk and play along the shore line at the beach in which some people enjoy. Vendors line the length of the beach selling everything you can imagine for local food and beverages to Rastafarian clothing and accessories. Many of the beach bars such as Stanley’s Welcome Bar and Myetts at Cane Garden bay also stay open during the course of the night and offer anything from their full menu. In the harbour at Cane Garden Bay many yachts and power boats anchor just out the swimming area and watch and listen to the music festival. Some sailors get into a small boat or canoe and linger around the shore line for a close up experience. The stage at BVI Music festival has already been graced by such performers as Jerry Butler, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, En Vogue, Jeffrey Osborne, Wycliffe Jean, Freddie Jackson, Percy Sledge, The Drifters, Daddy Yankee, Sizzla and the list goes on.]]> Wesley10 BVI MESSAGE BOARD & DISCUSSIONS Sun, 27 Nov 2011 21:20:18 -0600 http://www.bvivacation.com/British-Virgin-Islands-Travel-Talk-Forum/read.php?2,5,5#msg-5 http://www.bvivacation.com/British-Virgin-Islands-Travel-Talk-Forum/read.php?2,5,5#msg-5 Wesley10 BVI MESSAGE BOARD & DISCUSSIONS Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:55:36 -0500 http://www.bvivacation.com/British-Virgin-Islands-Travel-Talk-Forum/read.php?2,4,4#msg-4 http://www.bvivacation.com/British-Virgin-Islands-Travel-Talk-Forum/read.php?2,4,4#msg-4 Wesley10 BVI MESSAGE BOARD & DISCUSSIONS Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:32:50 -0500 http://www.bvivacation.com/British-Virgin-Islands-Travel-Talk-Forum/read.php?2,3,3#msg-3 http://www.bvivacation.com/British-Virgin-Islands-Travel-Talk-Forum/read.php?2,3,3#msg-3
March 23-2009, The British Virgin Islands was happy to host the wedding of Netscape Co-Founder and billionaire Jim Clark, 64 and Australian supermodel Kristy Hinze, 28. The four day period of activities wereplace between the billionaire’s 100 million dollar yacht as well as, Richards Branson Private “Necker Island” which rents for about $40,000 dollars a night and all ended up at Rosewood’s Little Dix Bay Hotel which was first built by Laurance Rockefeller and Charlie Cary in the 1960’s. Performing at the wedding was none other than Mr. Cheeseburger in Paradise and The Margaritaville man, Jimmy Buffet. Although the resort was closed to the public residents of the British Virgin Islands enjoyed a magnificent display of fireworks at 9:45pm. The wedding somewhat followed the trend of Billionaire and google’s co-founder Larry Page that was held in the British Virgin Islands in 2007. This wedding also involved the use of Richards Branson Private Necker Islands, Little Dix Bay Resort and Ferry Companies.]]> Wesley10 BVI MESSAGE BOARD & DISCUSSIONS Wed, 25 Mar 2009 06:17:03 -0500 http://www.bvivacation.com/British-Virgin-Islands-Travel-Talk-Forum/read.php?2,2,2#msg-2 http://www.bvivacation.com/British-Virgin-Islands-Travel-Talk-Forum/read.php?2,2,2#msg-2 Wesley10 BVI MESSAGE BOARD & DISCUSSIONS Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:08:05 -0600 http://www.bvivacation.com/British-Virgin-Islands-Travel-Talk-Forum/read.php?2,1,1#msg-1 http://www.bvivacation.com/British-Virgin-Islands-Travel-Talk-Forum/read.php?2,1,1#msg-1
