Two flags 🇻🇮🇵🇷, connected communities, and Caribbean pride.
Observed October 12, 2026, Virgin Islands 🇻🇮 & Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Friendship Day celebrates 62 years of family, culture, and connection.
Established in 1964 through legislation during Governor Ralph M. Paiewonsky’s administration, the holiday replaced the territory’s Columbus Day observance with a celebration of the historic bonds between Virgin Islanders and Puerto Ricans.
Proppah Tingz honors those connections through designs that let you represent your roots with pride.
