If there is one Carnival you head to this year, make it the Spicemas Carnival in Grenada! Spicemas in Grenada, also known as August Mas, is lively, fun, and more than a little wild. The event, which is held in August, is perfect for those who want to experience the best of Grenadian culture, entertainment, and lifestyle.
Carnival celebrations can be traced back into antiquity, even to Roman times. The very word Carnival probably comes from Latin — carne vale, farewell to the flesh. But the roots of Caribbean Carnival, especially in Grenada, sprang from the colonial French/slave society of Trinidad.
Grenada Carnival is probably the number one cultural event on Grenada's annual events calendar, Spicemas (affectionately named so due to the island's renowned spice production) is not to be missed!
