A Groundbreaking Gesture of Music and Unity: VI Jam Fest 2024 at The Windmill Bar Announces Bold Move to Free Admission

In an unprecedented move that speaks volumes about its commitment to music, community, and the spirit of giving, The Windmill Bar on St. John has announced that the VI Jam Fest 2024 will be open to the public free of charge. The festival, slated for March 7-9, 2024, is set to feature a diverse lineup of artists across various genres, from the reggae rhythms of Fortunate Youth to the psychedelic rock vibes of Blac Rabbit, and the west coast reggae of Kyle Smith, among others.

“The decision to make VI Jam Fest a free event this year was inspired by our desire to give back to the music community and make our festival accessible to everyone,” said Christie Register, owner of The Windmill Bar and the festival’s organizer. “We want to remove any barriers that might prevent people from experiencing the joy and unity that music brings.”

Held at The Windmill Bar, a venue known for its breathtaking views and vibrant atmosphere, VI Jam Fest is more than just a music festival. It’s a celebration of culture, nature, and the arts, set against the backdrop of St. John’s world-class beaches, boating opportunities, and national parks. However, the focus remains firmly on the music and the experience it offers.

“We’re thrilled to offer an eclectic mix of genres, from reggae and rock to folk and more, ensuring there’s something for every music lover,” Register continued. “Our lineup reflects the diversity of our community and the universal language of music.”

For U.S. citizens looking to escape the winter blues, the festival’s location on St. John is an added bonus, as no passport is required for travel. Attendees can easily transition from enjoying the euphoric tunes at The Windmill Bar to exploring the natural beauty of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

“In these challenging times, we wanted to do something truly special and bring people together in a way that only music can,” said Register. “Making VI Jam Fest free is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to our community and ‘welcome’ to visitors from near and far.”

With an expected influx of visitors and locals alike, VI Jam Fest is poised to be an unforgettable event that strengthens the bond between the community and the arts, while showcasing the hospitality and beauty of St. John.

“To all who have supported us, this is for you. Let’s make history together at VI Jam Fest 2024 – a festival where music knows no bounds, and admission knows no price,” Register concluded with a smile.
