VIO International has won the 2025–26 St. Croix Crucian Christmas Festival Road March title with its song Ah Want to Be.

The Virgin Islands Festival Commission announced the results following the culmination of festival activities.

In a Facebook post, the band expressed gratitude for the victory, noting it marked their first Road March win in 25 years.

“What a journey it has been. Our last win was in 2001. We reunited in 2009 and never looked back,” the band said.

“Through every challenge, every comeback, and every step of the road, we stayed the course. To our fans and friends, thank you. We love and truly appreciate each of you for steering this journey, believing in us, and never giving up on VIO. The road wasn’t easy, but together, we did it.”
