It\u2019s no secret that Afternoon on the Green has
become a much-loved tradition on St. Thomas,
drawing hundreds and even thousands of
patrons to UVI\u2019s Herman E. Moore Golf Course for
its annual celebration of Virgin Islands culture
and cuisine. Until now, the special recipe for its

Since its inception in 1993, Afternoon on the Green has
been centered around community engagement and
UVI\u2019s mission to build strong ties with the local
community that it serves. It is with that goal in mind that
UVI\u2019s Institutional Advancement Office first conceived
the event focused on the Virgin Islands tradition of
cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
