The Caribbean island of Grenada is preparing for its most colourful and animated time of year as carnival fever takes over the streets, with the sound of banging beats from steel drums and the laughter of the locals parading in their masquerade costumes!  The magnitude of the Grenada Carnival is immense – not only in size – but also in the importance that this big party has on the nation culturally, socially and economically. 

Its success in the past has led to Grenada being nicknamed the ‘Festival Capital’ of the Caribbean, and Carnival is definitely one of the best times of the year to visit this beautiful island and fully immerse yourself in the island’s culture and experience the famous Caribbean party spirit!  The steel drum tournaments, calypso competitions and beauty queen pageant bring thousands to the picturesque old harbour during the day, whilst the vibrant celebrations continue into the night with party goers in fluorescent clothing hitting the Monday Night Mas’ Street Jump Up – an unforgettable experience and the selection of white sandy beaches are the perfect place to nurse all headaches the following day!
