Aragorn's Place
Located in Trellis Bay, Tortola on the East End and very near the Beef Island airport (EIS).
Each Full Moon (and also
during the Trellis Bay New Year's Eve festival) he places
the Fire Sculpures on mounts in the sea just beyond
the shoreline for the public to view from the beautiful beach. The sculptures
are fueled with firewood and set ablaze. On New Year's
Eve the festivities gain momentum against a backdrop
of fountains and fireworks accentuating the life and
movement of the sculptures themselves. (Excerpted from here: Aragorn's Studio)
Make a note to self:
GO TO THE NEW YEARS EVE FIREBALL PARTY!
(Locals call it Old Years Night, by the way)
Showing 3 sculptured Fireballs and One Flaming Man.
Here's a great little video to give you more on this family oriented event. Fun for ALL ages!!
Oh, and don't forget the Mocko Jumbies!!
You will not believe how they dance on those tall sticks, many much more than 15 feet off the ground!!
Here's a fantastic video posted by someone at the Full Moon Party!
(Kindly shared by the owners of a visiting cruising sailboat.)
"Ev'ryting's gonna be alright
Ev'ryting's gonna be alright
Ev'ryting's gonna be alright
Ev'ryting's gonna be alright
Ev'ryting's gonna be alright...."
Repeat!!
(Thank you, Bob Marley!)
There's plenty of Caribbean music, demonstrations of pottery firing, metal sculpture and of course, RUM!!!

Now, on to some, ahem, "adult" entertainment.
PARTY TIME!!
Bomba Shack
Here's what the Toronto Star had to say about Bomba Shack Full Moon Party:
TORTOLA,
BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS—The walls of Tortola’s Bomba Shack bar are
rudimentary at best. A few warped sheets of plywood comprise the roof;
bras, panties, t-shirts and bikinis decorate the walls.
Still pretty tame at 9 p.m., but wait until midnight during the Full Moon Party.
It’s probably the most notorious bash in the Caribbean. It certainly tops the list of must-dos for the sun-worshipping partier.
FULL MOON RISING
Bomba Shack, perched like a drunken pelican over the sand of Carrot Bay, is no family restaurant.
Bikini donors get a free drink — several if the staff gets to watch the disrobing.
When the clock strikes 12, a different kind of drink appears. Magic mushroom tea.
The band belts out Bob Marley covers.
Things start to sizzle in the silvery light of the moon.
Magic Mushroom tea....Hmmmmm.
Bomba's by day......A
crude collection of washed up objects, donated, ahem, clothing, and
various other flotsam that arrived by unknown courier. :) Somehow
this ragtag collection of "stuff" has survived several tropical storms
and Hurricanes. It's de eyeland jumbies, mon, who watch over dem.
And then there's Bombas by night.
Go to Trip Advisor HERE for some reviews of this totally fun place. After you go, write your own review, if you can remember what you did!
So, when you're ready to get down for some Island Style partying, just let me know.
I love what I do... :)
