Carriacou Carnival
From 02/19/2007 to 02/20/2007
Carnival celebrations in Carriacou are held from the weekend before the start
of the Christian Lenten period. In the tradition of Caribbean Carnivals, these
celebrations include calypso competitions and the parade of brightly costumed
masqueraders thorugh the streets of the main villages.
Unique to Carriacou Carnival is the Shakespeare Mas, in which brightly
dressed Peirrots engage in a battle of wits using only lines from Shakespearean
plays. The competitor without a quick reply earns a playful stroke from his
opponent's stick. In 2008, Carriacou Carnival will be held from February 4 to 5.
