Carriacou Carnival
Mon, February 20, 2012
Event Description
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 thorugh 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.
Although the Carnival entails many aspects of the main land's Carnival, this event is quite spectacular in its very own unique way. In 2012 Carriacou's Carnival will be held from February 20 - 21st.
