St. Thomas Bordeaux Rastafarian Vegan Food Fair
Join me right here on @mblydenvlogs as I explore the second day of the vibrant three-day annual Bordeaux Rastafarian Vegan Food Fair! The fairgrounds were bustling with activity, featuring vendors lining both sides of the marketplace offering a wide variety of products and creations. From herbal and natural healthcare items to trees, plants, wood carvings, paintings, and even livestock, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
One of the highlights of the event was my visit to my friend’s booth, where he was selling his chickens and sharing valuable information about the importance of rebuilding the local Cornish Hen population.
The fair also featured a fun and unique "coal-pot lighting competition," where participants raced to light their pots and bring a kettle to a boil faster than their competitors-an exciting nod to traditional Caribbean cooking methods.
The atmosphere was filled with positive vibes, delicious vegan food, and great company. I had a wonderful time reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones along the way.
This event is always a highlight of the year, and I’m already looking forward to attending next year’s fair! Don’t forget to like, share, and comment below if you’ve ever attended or would love to experience this amazing cultural event.
Enjoy the sights, sounds, and flavors of the Bordeaux Rastafarian Vegan Food Fair! 🌱✨

I was almost there if I got that teaching position I applied for in 2010.
This video is an entire vibe! 😊
Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Dope!!
This was such a fun hike, with a great bunch of hikers!
Its not a mile its actually 1/2 mile hike up to the top.
I stand corrected.
would you say this is still accurate in 2025?
Shoutout to Blue 11!!! A must try.
@@jagavi9822 it’s a really nice place to eat plus I think the chef was just awarded the other day.
I miss the Bordeaux fair! Hope to get back home in January to experience it again ❤️🇻🇮
Thank you for sharing this experience with the rest of us! I have been vegan since 2013 and visited st. Thomas in 2021 and was blown away by how many vegan products were on the island! I had brought some frozen meat substitutes in my checked baggage just in case, but it turned out to be totally unnecessary, the grocery stores had everything we needed! I just sent my husband this video and told him we have to plan a trip during this weekend next year❤ thanks again for sharing!
Thanks for watching. It's amazing how veganism is becoming more mainstream and popular!
I’m so glad that I found this video, I’m looking to move to the Islands within the next year
Glad I could be of assistance. As suggested be sure to have job secured before moving.
@ I currently work remotely, so the good news is that as long as there’s really good WiFi I think I should be ok
@@MakeupByNettathe wifi is literally fine lol
You interviewed my pops 😊. Dwarf coconut trees @ 2:42.
Oh cool. I like interviewing the different vendors at the fair!
The coal pot competition at the end was a vibe!
@@THEHYGHLYTECOMPANY yes, the coal pot competition was one of the highlights for me also.
Great video as usual. I enjoyed learning about the "Batam" chickens. The presentation was very informative!
I’m glad you learned something new!
The Bordeaux Fair is one of my favorite annual events to attend!
It’s one of my favorite events also. If I’m on island I never miss it.
I miss attending the Bordeaux Fairs.
It’s always a vibe! 🇻🇮
I got married there.
Oh wow! They’re in the process of renovating it right now.
Keep the videos coming 💪🏾
Will do!
💪🏽🔥🇻🇮BIG UP🇻🇮🔥💪🏽
@@340_ISLANDBOI yessi Blessup 🙏🏽
What is the price of mobile service ?
I am not sure. There are 3 major companies down here. Viya, T-Mobile and Liberty Mobile (Recently pigeon AT&T). I’ll suggest visiting their respective Websites to compare their rates.
I'm late but hope you had a happy holidays!
I did. Thank you and same to you and yours!
Culture ❤
Thanks for watching! VI2theWorld! Keeping di culture alive!
Here in 2025(1/2/25) bc I’m wanting to relocate. The island life is calling me. Great Info. Thank you & Happy New Year🎉🥳 🎉
Happy New Year! I’m glad you found the info helpful!
She went to the wrong place. When you bring a chill vibe, people will be chill with you. If you expect people to jump when you say jump, and treat you like a god, this isn't the place for you. Also, she doesn't strike me as someone who would spend any time familiarizing herself with local customs before taking a vacation. Greeting people is so important in the USVI, and if you don't do it, you're starting the interaction off on the wrong foot right away. Certain people just have a talent to alientate service industry workers by acting superior and entitled. You get much better results when you approach these kind of interactions with a flexible attitude. I suspect this woman has the exact same issues in her daily interactions with the service industry wherever she lives.
VI to the world!! Happy Holidays!
VI to the world! 🇻🇮
Happy to see you upload another video! It's been a while. Happy Christmas to you and your family!
Glad to be back 😄
Merry Christmas .. looks like a great time .. if i had my choice of those boats.. it would have to be Castaway Cat
Yes, I've heard great things about the Castaway Cat! It’s is a beautiful Catamaran!
Happy Holidays. Love the steel drums!
Thanks. I hope you enjoyed the event!
Happy holidays. My favorite boat was the one with the dinosaur on the back of it! Dino’s like Christmas too! 😂😂😂
I know, right? I'm so glad they got Dino involved this year.
Merry Christmas Markus and to all a good night.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Really love gladys! & for bars Zanzibar/ agave 🎉
I’ve been to all 3. My favorite of those is Gladys.
@ I agree ! The food was delicious
Wya brother it's been awhile miss ya and the videos. One love king 👑
Ima hopefully drop some holiday content next week
@mblydenvlogs thanks bro st Croix festival coming up
@mblydenvlogs make a video of carnival history in the virgin islands bro
my concern is the housing.... what did you say in the beginning, I couldn't hear. What website do you use to find housing?
Many people in the Virgin Islands are still on Facebook. There is a page on FB names U.S. Virgin Islands Apartments and Houses for rent.
The chicken fry 🔥
Hey, I’m going to be in St. Thomas 11/16-11/23. Any recommendations on any events or places to visit to get better feel for what it’s like to live in St. Thomas?
All the houses in the usvi except public housing got cisterns, not just especially st Thomas ALL DO...
I'm visiting St. Thomas in December. Can't wait to try the fishing, thanks for the tips!
Stayed there 2014 and 2017 nice place.
Yes it was a lovely hotel. It’s finally under construction though. Hopefully they’ll build it back even better.
I’ll be in st Thomas october 10-18th. If you guys doing a hike to mermaids tail, we’d like to join.
Hi @mblydenvlogs, can I purchase a local prepaid sim card for my phone at the airport? Can you recommend any places if not? Thanks.
Good day. Pre-paid SIMS are not available at the airport. You will have to go to one of the local carriers to do so. Name Liberty Mobile, VIYA or T-Mobile.
@@mblydenvlogs Thank you for this information!
Are there any good bank jobs there, I work for BofA
Bank jobs are definitely not the “rave”, but I do have a family member who got a job with only a high school diploma, doing customer service/sales and she’s enjoying it so far.
FYI. There are 3 major banks in the territory and they’re all run out of PR. We have some credit union as well.
Wow that's wassup yummy. Good to see you back brother. Stay bless bro and keep coming out with videos. Big fan
Blyden wassup brother
OMG! I Met you. You were my driver at Divi
It's not higher than living in California.
I concur, but the minimum wage is a $6 difference than Cali also.
What are the prices like? Are the fruits and vegetables cheaper than at the store? How much for a mango, how much for a cherimoya (sugar apple)? I’m just curious
What about the farmers market? Is that a cheaper option to buy local fruits and vegetables?
Call sure.LvE
