For the month of March 2011 the pick of the CIG Group is the lovely island of Trinidad, mainly because – It’s Carnival time again!
Once a year this island goes truly mad, a good mad, a fun mad. Partying (or revelling) in the streets on Carnival Monday and Carnival Tuesday is the climax of the long season which actullly begins right after Christmas.
Trinidadians are known worldwide for their belief that a good party solves all problems, that is reflected in their free spirts and willingness to drop all that their doing to go “lime.”
Carnival celebrations consists of parties (called fetes), many all-inclusive; song competitions (the biggest one being Calypso Monarch and Chutney Monarch); Steel drum competitons (Steelpan is the national instrument of Trinidad) called Panorama and; The Parade of the Bands where the revelry is spawned on the streets of the capital on the last two days of Carnival – Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.
Trinidad’s Carnival is known as “The Greatest Shows on Earth” and if you are ever lucky enough to witness it along with the thousands of visitors that make this annual party pilgramage, you will understand why!
