Does anyone know what time the people ferry will be operating on July 5th for the Carnival? We are so excited that we will be down at the same time for this event. We are planning on getting there early, and spending all day until after the fireworks there.

I may be wrong but the carnival is usually on the 4th. But on the day of the parade and fireworks occur the ferry runs almost non stop. They fill up and then leave.

The parade will be on the 5th this year.
The ferries will be running all day, on the hour and then more as crowds permit.
Have a great time!

This is the Red Hook ferry to STJ!! Not from Charlotte Amalie.

Sorry that I didn't clarify, I am such a Red Hook ferry person, that I never think about the downtown ferry 🙂

I often take the CA ferry - it is a shorter ride for me than going to Red Hook and much easier to park.

Normally, the car ferry leave Red Hook @6:30p.m.
Will that be the same on the evening of the 4th?
Does anyone know?
Thanks,
