I did both one year since Grenada is just a week after Cropover and you could too if you have the time and money.
Speaking of money, Barbados is relatively expensive and the island is a little too conservative or staid for my tastes...although not the mas bands, thats some heavy wukking up they be doing. I prefer Grenada myself and will be there this year for the third time. It uses exactly the same carnival format as Trinidad, as far as major carnival events go, except on about a one tenth scale. http://www.spicemasgrenada.com/ |

Tims gets underway tonite with Bunji & Asylum, Lil Rick, Electrik and Peter Ram I think
No word yet on the line up for Glow, but i think a lotta fetes may suffer slightly, cause there really is no one left after the first month of the season that people wouldnt have seen. By July, they would have seen, Bunji Machel Destra Shurwayne. Last year PX$ had Machel and Xtatik at Bare Jeans, and Destra @ Glow. Really no big foreign artists they could bring unless they head outside of the calypso arena, which woudlnt make much sense. Two big dancehall artists for cohobblopot tho  |

Well I have never been to Grenada but based on what I have heard from others, I would say BIM.
Nuff events (Check out kadooment.com). The road does be fantastic because no on cares what they look like. And during the day, there are actually things you can do like beach and nice restaurants, sight see. It is expensive in many aspects but you can find inexpensive lodging and food. And the fetes are nothing compared to what you have to shell out when you go to Trinidad. |
