The Trinidad Carnival Wind Down
Easily one the biggest festivals in the Caribbean, it would be an injustice for us not to highlight Trinidad & Tobago's annual Carnival.
Droves of travellers visit the island every year to take part in the festivities and cultural explosion that begins to warm up just after Christmas with various promotional events and music competitions then climaxes in a vibrant two-day street party just before the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday.
For approximately two months, the island buzzes with some of the best soca music in the Caribbean from countless fetes and premium parties in celebration of Trinidadian, and indeed Caribbean, culture, unity and fun. In a nutshell, one can describe it as a harmonious mixture of high energy calypso, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, steel pan rhythms and nearly half a million happy people.
Popular celebrities can usually be found among the revellers enjoying the festivities and this year was no different. Previous visitors have included Nicki Minaj and Idris Elba. This year, two of the more popular celebrity attractions were the ever provocative Amber Rose and her best friend Blac Chyna.
Not to be confused or even considered the same as some of the other big name carnivals, this one is certainly a Caribbean event that should be on the calendar of any traveller who would enjoy an action packed vacation that will really help them unwind from the daily rat race. It is one of the most popular festivals in the region and anyone who has ever been will tell you that it is an experience like none other.
