Trinidad And Tobago Winter Carnival 2015

One of the most significant and beautiful carnivals of the Caribbean is definitely the annual carnival of Trinidad. The preparations start long before the carnival's start. The carnival is a happy folklore event, but beside, it is a competitive event. Various groups compete on the first place in various categories like; the queen of the carnival 2015, the Calypsos and Soca queens and kings.

Enjoy the pulsating rhythms of the Steelpan at Panorama; the Calypso Monarch and King & Queen Costumes during Dimanche Gras; Soca Monarch and Groovy Soca Monarch on Fantastic Friday; J’Ouvert and the Blue Devils; Playing Mas; Carnival 2015 Road March and Fetes galore.    
               
Carnival season is party season, and in Trinidad it begins many months in advance. There are mas band launches, large fêtes, and calypso tents where contenders for the Calypso Monarch crown perform nightly. No carnival would be complete without the various competitions that highlight the thought, skill and creativity on which each component of the festival is based. After weeks of intense preparation, steelbands deliver their best interpretations of leading party tunes and custom-made pan songs at the Panorama finals.

Carnival 2015 Dates Trinidad and Tobago's Winter annual Carnival festival the biggest and best in the Caribbean, and one of the top public celebrations in the world varies from year to year depending upon the Lenten calendar. Here are the 2015-2020 dates for Trinidad's and Tobago's Winter Carnival 2015 or at least Carnival Monday and Tuesday, the "official" celebration days, although the party always starts at least the previous Friday. 2015: Feb. 16-17.

The purpose of this group is to meet other people who have a similar interest in checking out Trinidad's Carnival 2015.  The summer is quickly approaching and reservations need to be made.  The cost of everything increases, and the availability of costumes and accomodations decreases the closer we get to the end of the year.If you've heard about it from someone who actually went, it's sooooo much fun…So maybe this is YOUR year to go! Let's meetup and see if we can assist each other in the preparation.

The J'Ouvert revelry clears and massive costumed bands of "Pretty Mas" players flood the street with riotous colour. A cast of thousands take to the street "jumping up" and "wining" (gyrating of the hips) to the sound of soca blaring from speakers piled on music trucks. The excitement is at fever pitch, but Carnival Monday is only a "warm-up" for Carnival Tuesday Brazilians culture.

Carnival Tuesday begins promptly at 8 a.m. Thousands of masqueraders are in full costume, ready and impatiently awaiting their chance to strut in front of the television cameras as bands cross the main judging points. Each band has its own historical, mythological or tropical concept with various sections depicting aspects of the main theme.
