Trinidad Carnival
Dating back to the 18th century, the Carnival in Port of Spain, Trinidad is one of the most vibrant festivals in the Caribbean, and the world over. It begins on the Monday before Ash Wednesday and ends the following day.
Before the festivities kick off, there are a series of pre-Carnival events and parties, in which visitors will experience firsthand the best of Trinidad's music and entertainment. The Calypso Monarch competition and the Soca Monarch competition are two of the most important ones. After that, the streets of Port of Spain come alive with a massive parade showcasing elaborate costumes. Participants dance through the streets to the beat of soca and calypso music.
Last but not least, as in any other major event, local authorities recommend that visitors take precautions to ensure their safety and enjoy the carnival to the fullest. If you are lucky enough to be in Port of Spain at this time of the year, do not miss out.
