Our culture of carnival is known and loved far and wide across the globe. It really starts off with kiddies carnival on a friday where children compete and parade in bands across the promenade and streets of port of spain,our capital. Major soca and kalypso competitions happen during the weekend and leads up to carnival monday and tuesday when competitive parades of exotic costumes and bands are displayed in the streets and stages of port of spain. Carnival takes over the entire country as many districts across the country host their own displays of spectral drammatisation and parties in every county. The wednesday after carnival is famuos for attending church and is known as ash wednesday as a riligious practice in our catholic community. The cool down on wednesday is when everyone flocks to the beaches and rivers to lime and relax with family reunions, cookouts, games and music...it is almost as if carnival was just beginning.
