2020 Caribbean Carnival dates

Carnival in the Caribbean is always a good time. Once the Christmas season is officially over in the Caribbean, it's time to find your dancing shoes and start waiting for Carnival. This is when you’ll have the opportunity to dress up, dance through the streets, and live life unbothered. It is always a good idea to head to the Caribbean and participate in the culture the Caribbean offers.

Carnival showcases some of the best aspects of Caribbean culture. The music, dance, history, and vibrancy of West Indians are all evident during the Carnival season.
