The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) have amended earlier Good Friday restrictions, now allowing businesses to open and serve alcohol beginning at 6:00 p.m. this evening, Friday, April 18th.
The initial guidance, which called for full-day closures and a pause on alcohol service out of respect for the religious observance, drew mixed reactions from residents and business owners alike. Officials announced the revision early Friday afternoon, stating the decision reflects a balance between honoring tradition and supporting the city’s vibrant hospitality sector.
Regular business operations are set to resume as normal starting Saturday, April 19.
