The story

Foxy's Old Year's Night in Jost Van Dyke

Foxy's Old Year's Night is a widely known New Year's Eve celebration at Foxy's Beach Bar in Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke, founded by island musician and bar owner Foxy Callwood and long established as one of the Caribbean's best-known New Year's parties for the yachting community. This research could not obtain fresh session-specific confirmation through live web search, though the event's existence and format are well documented in Caribbean travel and sailing literature.

On Jost Van Dyke, the smallest of the British Virgin Islands' main inhabited islands, Great Harbour fills each December 31 with more boats than the anchorage was ever built to comfortably hold, all there for one reason: Foxy's Old Year's Night.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Foxy's Bar built its international reputation substantially on this single night, drawing yachts from across the Caribbean, and often beyond, to anchor in Great Harbour specifically for New Year's Eve, turning a small beach bar on one of the BVI's smallest islands into a globally recognized sailing-community tradition

02

The mystery stays covered

Founder Foxy Callwood, a calypso musician known for improvised, topical songs performed for bar patrons, gave the venue and its signature night a distinct personality tied to one performer rather than a generic resort party
