IslandMix - Soca, Reggae, Zouk and Caribbean Entertainment

I know POS is the epicentre of TT carnival, but I've never heard anything about Tobago? Is there a big carnival in Tobago as well during carnival, i.e. street mas on Monday & Tuesday.

If you've been is it worth going to on one of the 2 carnival days?

they do have a carnival.. which is minute in comparison to Trinidad's carnival. In my opinion, it is not worth going to the any of the days... unless, or course you are looking for a more laid back scene. In totality, there is about 10 bands, if so many. But as i said, it depends on what kinda atmosphere you are looking for.

when i was much younger I played mas in Tobago all the time, seeing that I grew up there. I had a good time, but if you really want to experience mas, Trinidad is the place to be. IMO, anyway.

What kind of bands/sections go over to Tobago to play mas? How about entertainers, do they split their time between the islands?

they have their own mas camps own band leaders, they do their own thing, independent of Trinidad, during the Carnival season entertainers may visit the island to do shows, but they also have their own entertainers, own competitions. Carnival is not that grand of an event in Tobago. The big event for Tobago is TobagoFest which is normally held in September, at that time, bands/sections from the bigger/well known bands in Trinidad may masquerade in Tobago. A lot of entertainers are there at that time also.
