While thousands are obsessed with the main weekend of Trinidad Carnival, I’ve never been one of them. As an introvert who loves a little peace and simplicity, that scene is just too crowded and chaotic for me to keep going back every year.
Join me as I share my 30-day countdown to Carnival, focusing on packing smart with what I have, making sure that my travel partners are well informed, finalizing my DIY projects and getting my body in tip top shape.
I always cringe when someone heading to a carnival says they’re “going on vacation”. If they plan on moving like a typical carnival-goer, I can confirm that they in fact will NOT be vacationing.
Crop Over has my heart for so many reasons, but mainly because of the music. I think I can confidently say, that Bashment Soca is my favorite genre of soca.
Antigua’s Carnival has been running officially since 1957. Their summer carnival festival lasts approximately two weeks, with the kick-off starting annually in late July with various pageants.
