Where to stay: Hotel Accommodations around Carriacou
Carriacou is the largest sister isle of Grenada and its Carnival festival is one of the most authentic in the world. The easy charm of Carriacou, combined with its deep cultural traditions, creates this unique event.
One of the unique aspects of this festival is 'Kayak Mas,' affectionately called, and the mention of Shakespeare Mas is also inevitable. Found only in Carriacou, colorfully dressed masqueraders challenge each other with their best renditions of Shakespeare’s most noted lines. Fumbling or forgetting lines means you will fall to the playful tap of your opponent’s stick; it is truly a spectacle to watch.
Carriacou also boasts the Jab Jab covered in old oil, painted masqueraders, the bright lights of Monday Night Mas, and the color and splendor of Fancy Mas on Carnival Tuesday. In the mix is upbeat island music, spice-infused cuisine, safety, and the warmth and friendliness of the people.
