Mas with Definition. Culture with Purpose.

Founded in 2008 on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, Simply Sophisticated Fun Troupe Inc. has grown into one of the island’s most respected and dynamic festival troupes in the US Virgin Islands. What began as a high school initiative has evolved into a vibrant, community-driven brand offering #SimplyTheBEST

We are proud to be one of the first fully inclusive troupes in the Virgin Islands—welcoming revelers of all identities to experience Carnival with comfort, confidence, and style. Our costumes are 100% locally designed and handcrafted, offering exclusive pieces that reflect both exceptional quality and cultural pride.

As a registered nonprofit, our team is powered by young Virgin Islanders and professionals in business, marketing, and creative production—all passionate about delivering unforgettable festival experiences. From exceptional customer service to unmatched craftsmanship, we strive to set the standard for Carnival in St. Croix and beyond.

More than a troupe, Simply Sophisticated is a movement—celebrating creativity, embracing diversity, and showcasing the brilliance of Virgin Islands culture.

Our inclusive vision and innovative production style have earned regional and international recognition, with features in Condé Nast Traveler and top Caribbean Carnival platforms. Through years of growth, consistency, and community commitment, Simply Sophisticated Fun Troupe continues to thrive as a cultural leader and creative powerhouse within the U.S. Virgin Islands.
