Emancipation Garden & Vendors' Plaza
18° 20.5′ N · 64° 55.8′ W · approximate
The green square beside Fort Christian where emancipation was proclaimed and where Carnival's food fair, government ceremonies and concerts still happen; the outdoor Vendors' Plaza market runs alongside.
Practical
Position approximate: the OpenStreetMap 'Emancipation Gardens Park' point. Wikipedia: the garden hosts concerts and government ceremonies, and the Carnival food fair gathers vendors and steel pan bands here; vendors line the streets from Market Square to Emancipation Garden at Carnival time. Charlotte Amalie is known for its outdoor Vendors' Plaza. Short walk from the Coast Guard station dinghy landing.
Best for
Downtown people-watching, local food at Carnival, crafts
