If you have never been to a world wide Caribbean Carnival, you have not lived! And though one can be found in any of the multitude of islands throughout the West Indies as well as on almost each and every continent, summer is the season for the traditional annual celebration based on folklore, culture, and island “livity”. Whether attending the crowning of the new Calypso King, jamming to the sounds of the Panarama competition, or taking to the streets for Jouvert and walking the parade, participants young and old can be found transforming themselves from students, corporate ceos, firemen, and librarians, into stiltwalking tar painted medicine men, colorfully costumed masqueraders, and spirit filled dancers.

From Trinidad to Canada and everywhere in between, there is a Carnival beckoning your arrival. Step out on the wild side, grab your whistle, open up your mind, and throw all inhibitions away…..its carnival season, and its here to stay!
