A B C’s of Carnival

It's back to the basics of Carnival - we break it down for you!

A B C’s of Carnival
Hey, thanks for visiting our blog!  It's your girl, Esha, here and I came across a blog the other day that talked about the 5 C's of your wardrobe.  It got me to thinking, "What are the 5 C's of Carnival?"
Then that evolved into the A, B, C's of Carnival - and here we are.  Enjoy!

A is fuh Autonomy aka Freedom
The one thing that we hear from our Carnivalistas whether they go with us to Trinidad Carnival or Barbados Carnival is the freedom that they experience.  Imagine the freedom you feel when you’re on a regular vacay times 10!  Couple that with laughing, jumping, singing and dancing at Carnival events, the open road of the parade, J’ouvert and having some me time on the beach, and you have the perfect opportunity to be autonomous - you're free!

B is for Beauty
B is fuh Beauty
Ahhh...beautiful people and eye candy everywhere (including yourself!).  Everyone wears their “bess outfits” to the many parties and it all comes to a head during the parade!  Once your Carnivalista mode is on – Carnival makeup, costume on, comfortable (but stylish) footwear and drink in hand – you are one of a thing of beauty.  Check out all the other beautiful people around you while having the time of your life!

C is fuh Camaraderie
It’s all about yuh frien’ and dem.  The best part about Carnival is the friends – new and old – that you’ll meet.  From meeting up with your girls to perhaps rooming with someone new, there’s nothing like creating camaraderie during Carnival.  We’ve witnessed it by matching up dozens of strangers to room together over the years.  They’ve all become party buddies and long-term friends!

Then I thought, why stop at A B C?  Here are the D's and E's of Carnival...

D is fuh duttiness
D is fuh Duttiness
My fave part of Carnival – no matter where it is – is J’ouvert!  I think this one festival of dancing in the streets with paint, mud or powder all over your body combines A-E of Carnival into 1 event.  Our Carnivalistas all agree – our J’ouvert event is always top rated out of all of the events our clients attend every year :)

E is fuh Energy
I think this one if self-explanatory but I’ll illustrate it anyway.  Once you touch down in your chosen Carnival country, there’s a rush of energy and excitement that hits you!  Everyone is in a good mood and it’s infectious.  Soca music is playing everywhere; it’s the soundtrack of any Carnival.  The thumping bass infects your soul and you can’t help but move your body.  Your energy wakes up and hits a fever pitch at your first party of the season!  The fever pitch continues with every event and climaxes during the Carnival parade.  You really can’t help but get swept up in the intensity, color and vibrancy of Carnival!

So there you have it, the A, B, C’s (D's and E's) of Carnival!  Hope you enjoyed this blog.
