The 1733 St. John African Revolution Commemoration Committee is planning for the 41st annual pilgrimage and commemoration of the 1733 revolution by enslaved Africans on St. John.
Participants are invited to experience the courage and revolutionary spirit of our ancestors. This year’s observance will be held on St. John Friday, November 28, 2025, from at the Cruz Bay beach by the ferry dock, where a short welcoming program will be held before boarding the safaris. Those joining from St. Thomas would take the 9:00 a.m. ferry to be on time. Space will be limited, and participants are asked to bring their own lunch/snacks.
To express interest in participating, please register at www.fortsberg1733.org or through this direct link by November 15th: https://forms.gle/DKF1D9Fqow5j1P2PA.
Call 340-423-3578 or 340-203-3885 by November 15, 2024, for more information.
Costs are $47 for 12 years and above ($12 for ferry and $35 for land transportation) or $22 for 11 years and under ($2 for ferry and $20 for land transportation).
Following the opening ceremony at the beach in Cruz Bay at 9:30 a.m., the tour stops at Susannaberg, Adrian will be pointed out on the way to Catherineberg, then there will be a brief pause at the Coral Bay Overlook before moving on to the Fortsberg and Annaberg sites.
