Dance with the Troupes
The carnival kicks off with Family Day, filled with fun activities for all ages. Early birds can indulge in the vibrant and exhilarating J’ouvert at 7 am, setting the tone for a day filled with energy and excitement. The main parade, featuring captivating dance troupes, takes place from midday, making its way through the streets before returning to the park at 2pm to showcase the creative costumes made in community workshops prior to the event. The parade is an array of music, colour, and dance and all are welcome to join the procession that begins its eclectic journey from the park.
