Trinidad guides
First time or fifteenth, the straight talk: how the week runs, what it really costs, and how to pick a band you will not regret.
- Trinidad Carnival 101 New to Trinidad Carnival? Start here: what happens when, what it costs, and the words you will hear all week.
- Tobago Carnival 101 October Carnival on the sister isle: the Thursday-to-Sunday shape of it, J’ouvert on the beach, the parade and how to get there and back.
- Monday wear Monday on the road is your own look, not the costume: swimwear, mesh, monokinis and where to buy them without the last-minute panic.
- Things to do during Carnival Beyond the fetes and the road: Panorama, the Dimanche Gras, Kiddies Carnival, the beach and the food, if you have a week in Trinidad.
