Trinidad Carnival 2012
Giant Children's Carnival costume

Carnival is not a one-day event, or even just about the big Mas parades. Each island does Carnival a little differently, but typically you can expect a week-long celebration that includes concerts (steel pan, soca, reggae, etc.), cultural events, private parties, street festivals, and more. Highlights include the naughty nocturnal jouvert, crowning of a Carnival king and queen, dance and costume competitions, and even a Carnival children's parade.
