Transfer Day recognizes the historic significance of the territory’s transfer of ownership from Denmark to the United States of America on March 31, 1917. The flag of the US Virgin Islands was adopted in 1921.
The official music of the Virgin Islands is called quelbe. It is a distinctive form of music created by scratch bands (or fungi bands as they’re more often known as). These bands use improvised musical instruments such as washboards and gourds to create their own originial sound and beat.

The U.S. Virgin Islands offers a variety of fun-filled activities for all travelers, many of whom keep coming back year after year.
