Grenada Carnival

Grenada Carnival renowned for its colour, creativity and unique cultural character, Grenada’s Carnival is one of the island’s biggest annual festivals. Although each parish features its own brand of traditional costume or mas’, and many have activities at the Parish level, for many the main Carnival action is to be found on the streets of the capital city of St. George’s. The festivities begin in July and end on Carnival Tuesday August 13th. For more on Carnival (Spicemas) http://spicemasgrenada.com
