Carriacou Carnival 2012

Carnival on Carriacou (one of the sister islands of Grenada) is held in February.  For 2012 Carnival in Carriacou is on February 20 to the 21.

About Carriacou Carnival

Carnival celebrations in Carriacou are held from the weekend before the start of the Christian Lenten period. In the tradition of Caribbean Carnivals, these celebrations include calypso competitions and the parade of brightly costumed masqueraders through the streets of the main villages.

Unique to Carriacou Carnival is the Shakespeare Mas, in which brightly dressed Peirrots engage in a battle of wits using only lines from Shakespearean plays. The competitor without a quick reply earns a playful stroke from his opponent's stick.
Carnival in Carriacou climaxes with two days of street parades and various competitions among calypsonians and masquerade bands.  Although the Carnival entails many aspects of the main land's Carnival, this event is quite spectacular in its very own unique way.
