IslandMix - Soca, Reggae, Zouk and Caribbean Entertainment

With TNT out of the way and Cropover approaching....I think that I feel to be attending a few more Carnivals this year than usual.....yes it may be the Carnival Tabanca talking, and the invites from the sexy sexy men from around the world, but I definately lookin to expand my carnival repetoire...

Besides those in the states, which I usuallly attend (well at least the ones in the East Coast anyway), whose else should I be tryin to get to.

Any suggestions that dont conflict with Cropover?

Maybe it's too soon, but Caribana is the weekend following Cropover.

They are on seperate weekends this year?

Cause if they are Toronto here I come.

Yeah if I'm correct they usually are, oh by de way with all the Montrealers coming into town de Haitian does be representing big time at Caribana.

wuuuuurd?

I wit you....I never been to Caribana, never thought I would go either because of Cropover, if this is true I would definately try to do both....

I think Caribana's a cheap inexpensive carnival, (excluding cost to get here), depending on who you travel with I think the weekend can be done (fri-mon morning) on about 600-700 CDN, (Hotel, fetes, costume) if you stay downtown, you won't even need a car, which is good because it can get packed downtown that weekend.

You can walk, or cab it to most fetes downtown, they're all within radius.

I've been to Caribana a few times and the fetes are usually all over the place.

Der Monger, checked the dates, they are the same weekend.

go to St.Lucia carnival july 16 and 17.


nuff fetes.

caribbean soca monarch de sunday night show finish about 4 leave de show and j'ouvert one time!! and you in castires already

Try St. Thomas carnival ( End of April ) very nice, and you won't get extorted, easy to get there, no set of drama.

I just put up a post asking about St. Thomas Carnival. How is it?

I know...some times it is very hard to get an answer to a easy question.

overall it was a lot of fun, I went in 2004 or 2005, I had the most fun at Jouvert , ppl were super nice, the carnival is ok...a like small but the ppl really get on.....worth checking out, for me it was drama free, so I would do it again !
